Cisco ONS-SC+-10G-ZR Compatible 10GBASE-ZR 80km SFP+

EdgeOptic's ONS-SC+-10G-ZR compatible is a Cisco-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-80 multi-vendor 10GBASE-ZR transceiver, built for the Cisco ONS and NCS 2000 transport platforms. It matches the original Cisco part's 80 km single-mode optical specification and ships with Cisco-recognized EEPROM so the platform accepts it as the OEM module. The ONS-SC+ prefix marks this as the transport-platform variant, distinct from the SFP-10G-ZR used on Cisco switching and routing platforms. The 10GBASE-ZR 80 km class follows the SFP+ MSA and SFF-8431, deriving its reach from the OC-192 / STM-64 SONET specification rather than IEEE 802.3ae.

The module transmits at a nominal 1550 nm over duplex single-mode fiber on a Double LC/UPC interface, using an EML laser and an APD photodiode. It carries a 23 dB link budget with transmit power from 0 dBm to +5 dBm and receiver sensitivity better than −24 dBm, reaching 80 km on standard SMF within a 1600 ps/nm chromatic dispersion tolerance. The chipset operates from 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps and covers 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, 1G through 10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64 SONET/SDH at 9.95 Gbps. DDM/DOM reports temperature, voltage, laser bias, and optical power for in-service monitoring.

This module is for client-port positions on Cisco ONS 15454 and NCS 2000 Series transport platforms. Verify the part against the platform's pluggable transceiver table for your software release before deployment. Because the ZR transmitter launches at 0 dBm minimum into a receiver rated to −24 dBm, an inline optical attenuator is needed on spans shorter than roughly 40 km to keep received power inside the operating window and avoid overloading the receiver.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. The module ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
