How Cisco Compatibility Matrix can be employed to select the correct products for Cisco equipment? The portfolio of Cisco equipment and products is very extensive, and it is a challenge to know what suits what. With this in mind, Cisco has established two specific tools to help users find the appropriate transceivers for their equipment:

Cisco Compatibility Matrix Tool

This tool is used for Optics-to-Device (Transceiver-to-Switch/Router etc.) compatibility checks

Cisco Interoperability Matrix Tool

This tool is used for Optics-to-Optics (Transceiver-to-Transceiver) compatibility checks

In these tools, anyone can check in the Cisco Compatibility Matrix which Cisco module is supported on which Cisco platform, for example:

  • Cisco Gigabit Ethernet GBIC SFP Modules
  • Cisco 10 Gigabit Modules
  • Cisco 40 Gigabit Modules
  • Cisco 100 Gigabit Modules
  • Cisco SONET SDH SFP Modules
  • Cisco Fast Ethernet SFP Modules and others

It can be that the tools themselves are a bit alien to a novice, therefore, Cisco has created user manuals for each of the tools:
