SKU:XFP-10G-ZR
Official full ordering part number: XFP-10GZR-OC192LR
Naming Breakdown
-
XFP: 10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable, hot‑swappable transceiver compliant with XFP MSA Revision 4.5
-
10G: Supports serial bitrates ranging from 9.953 Gbps up to 10.3125 Gbps
-
ZR: Long-Haul Reach; Cisco proprietary 10G transmission standard at 1550 nm wavelength for up to 80 km over single-mode fiber
Multirate architecture supports both Ethernet LAN PHY, WAN PHY and OC‑192 / STM‑64 LR‑2 Packet over SONET (POS) transport.
Core Product Positioning
The Cisco XFP-10G-ZR is a hot‑swappable commercial-grade multirate XFP optical transceiver designed for long-distance point-to-point transport over single-mode fiber. Optimized for service provider metropolitan and regional backbone networks, enterprise long-distance inter-building links, and legacy modular switching/routing chassis deployments. Integrated DOM/DDM delivers continuous real-time monitoring of internal optical operating parameters.
Critical Reminder: For fiber spans shorter than 40 km, inline optical attenuators must be deployed to avoid receiver saturation and irreversible hardware damage.
