Cisco compatible ONS-SC+-10G-SR Description
ONS-SC+-10G-SR is Cisco's part number for the 10GBASE-SR SFP+ client optic deployed on the ONS (Optical Networking System) transport platform — specifically Ethernet client-port positions on ONS 15454 M6/M2 chassis and adjacent ONS transport line cards with SFP+ cages. The SC+ suffix denotes the SFP+ form factor; the older SC prefix (without the plus) refers to SFP modules at 1G/2.5G client rates on the same platform family. Carriers running mixed 1G and 10G Ethernet drop-off in a regional ring frequently mix both generations on adjacent slots, so confirming the SFP+ vs SFP cage distinction at the line-card PID is a first-step sanity check before provisioning.
The module is strictly 10GBASE-SR at 850 nm over multimode fiber — 300 m OM3, 400 m OM4, 6.1 dB link budget, dual-LC UPC. It is not a SONET/SDH OC-192 optic; STM-64 and OC-192 on the ONS platform require single-mode long-wavelength SFP+ modules on dedicated transport cards, not this SR client variant. For Ethernet client delivery into ONS 15454 metro/regional rings, ONS-SC+-10G-SR is the correct short-reach access optic.
EdgeOptic's compatible is coded with the Cisco ONS vendor and PID strings that CTC (Cisco Transport Controller) and Cisco Transport Planner expect during card inventory. SFF-8472 DDM is supported, so TL1 RTRV-PM and CTC's performance-monitoring views surface optical Tx/Rx power and case temperature on the same counters as a factory-shipped optic. No vendor-unsupported warning is raised at card commissioning. Card-slot provisioning in CTC matches the factory PID string, so MSTP/DWDM topology discovery and fault-correlation workflows continue to reference the module by its Cisco part number without manual override.
Cross-reference inside the ONS line: ONS-SC+-10G-LR handles the SMF long-reach 10 km variant on the same SFP+ cage, and ONS-SC-10G-LR refers to an older SFP-cage 10G SMF module. Chassis and card compatibility differ between ONS 15454 M6, M2, and later NCS 2000 series, so verify the slot PID before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will ONS-SC+-10G-SR carry an OC-192 / STM-64 SONET payload?
No. OC-192 and STM-64 are single-mode long-wavelength services and require a dedicated SONET/SDH SMF transport optic on the ONS 15454 transport line cards. ONS-SC+-10G-SR is a 10GBASE-SR Ethernet client optic over 850 nm multimode — it is the short-reach Ethernet access variant, not a SONET transport module.
Does CTC recognise the EdgeOptic compatible without flagging a vendor-unsupported optic warning?
Yes. The EEPROM carries the Cisco ONS vendor and PID strings that CTC and Cisco Transport Planner expect, so card commissioning, inventory, and TL1 RTRV-PM reporting behave identically to a factory-shipped ONS-SC+-10G-SR. SFF-8472 DDM telemetry (Tx/Rx power, case temperature) is exposed on the standard performance-monitoring views.
Which ONS platform cards accept ONS-SC+-10G-SR?
Ethernet client cards on ONS 15454 M6 and M2 shelves that expose SFP+ cages for 10GbE delivery — the GE-XP / 10GE-XP family and follow-on line cards. Older SFP-only (non-SFP+) slots do not accept this module, so verify the card PID against the chassis inventory before deployment.
