Core Product Positioning
The Cisco XFP-10G-LR is a hot‑swappable commercial-grade multirate XFP optical transceiver for medium-distance point-to-point transmission over single-mode fiber. Designed for enterprise campus core interconnections, data center leaf-spine links, carrier aggregation sites and legacy modular chassis deployments. Integrated DOM/DDM delivers continuous real-time monitoring of internal optical operating parameters. This module interoperates with 10GBASE-LR SFP+, X2 and XENPAK transceivers on matching single-mode fiber infrastructure.
