SFP-10G-SR Optical Module Selection Guide

The difference between SFP-10G-SR and FET-10G

From a hardware perspective, the SFP-10G-SR and FET-10G optical modules are completely identical, with only different encoding. FET-10G has a special encoding function that can only be recognized and used on Nexus 2000, Nexus 5000, and Nexus 7000 series devices.

SFP-10G-SR, DAC/AOC SFP+, or SFP-10G-T: Which is the best choice for short distance 10G connections?

When you are already using copper cables, or when the device you need to connect only has a 10G port, 10GBASE-T SFP+may be the only option. For very short distances, such as in rack or inter rack connections (usually 0-50m), DAC or AOC is an economical and efficient choice. For link lengths exceeding 50m, SFP-10G-SR optical modules and fiber optic jumpers are required.

What type of jumper is used to connect SFP-10G-SR?

The 10GBASE-SR SFP module has an LC duplex interface with a working wavelength of 850nm, suitable for short distance transmission, and is most suitable for using multimode LC-LC fiber jumpers. It supports a link length of 26m on standard multimode fiber (MMF), which can be extended up to 300 meters on laser optimized OM3 MMF and up to 400m on OM4 MMF.

Is the SFP-10G-SR optical module suitable for switches of different brands?

The compatibility of SFP-10G-SR varies by brand. Due to the fact that most host system manufacturers do not have policies restricting the use of specific brands, any optical module that meets MSA standards can be fairly accepted in the system. All protection algorithms are based on the MSA guidelines, so systems that comply with MSA standards can use the 10GBASE-SR SFP module. However, the SFP-10G-SR module will not be supported on systems using different proprietary algorithms.

What is the market price for SFP-10G-SR?

There is a significant price difference between OEM and SFP-10G-SR compatible. OEM modules are optical components branded by original suppliers such as Cisco, Juniper, Intel, etc. Usually, equipment suppliers outsource the production of these modules to OEM manufacturers, attach their own logos to the modules, and then sell these modules at a price of 10 times or even higher. A compatible 10GBASE-SR module with the same specifications and MSA standards as the branded module has the same performance as the branded module, which has become the preferred choice for most users. The price of SFP-10G-SR compatibility may vary from supplier to supplier, but choosing the Fast (FS) SFP-10G-SR as a cost-effective and wise choice will not disappoint you.
