Cisco compatible SFP-10G-ER Description
EdgeOptic's SFP-10G-ER compatible is a Cisco-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-40 multi-vendor 10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver. Cisco's catalog SKU sits inside one universal long-reach optic that ships under dozens of vendor codes; the Cisco part registers cleanly on IOS, IOS XE, and NX-OS because the EEPROM identifies as Cisco. The service unsupported-transceiver command is not required.
Optical layer is built on a DFB laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver operating at 1550 nm on standard ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber. Launch power sits between −1 and +4 dBm and receiver sensitivity reaches −16 dBm, delivering a 15 dB link budget for 40 km reach with 1 dB margin for connector and patch panel loss. Receiver overload is 0 dBm and the chromatic dispersion tolerance covers the 800 to 1000 ps/nm range typical of 40 km G.652 spans at 1550 nm. The module covers the 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps multi-rate envelope across 1GE and 10GE Ethernet, 8G and 10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64, matching the standard SFP-10G-ER scope on Cisco platforms equipped with the appropriate protocol cards.
Form factor is industry-standard SFP+ per the SFF-8431 MSA, with an LC duplex fiber interface and the standard 20-pin SFP connector to the host cage. DDM/DOM diagnostics report TX power, RX power, laser bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage over the SFF-8472 two-wire serial interface, so network operators can read real-time optical health from show interface transceiver CLI output or pull the values via SNMP for an NMS platform. The module is hot-pluggable into any SFP+ port that accepts a 10GBASE-ER optic. Supply rail is +3.3 V at 1 W typical power dissipation, and the standard 0 to 70 °C commercial range covers temperature-controlled wiring closets and data center cabinets. Compliance covers CE, Class 1 FDA laser safety per IEC 60825-1, and RoHS.
Verify the exact part against the Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix and the line card or chassis release notes for your software train. Note the sibling Cisco SFP-10G-ER-S is the Ethernet-only Cisco variant; SFP-10G-ER on this page carries the broader multi-rate envelope above. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco SFP-10G-ER Compatible
Does the EdgeOptic Cisco SFP-10G-ER compatible need the service unsupported-transceiver command on Cisco switches?
No. The SFP-10G-ER compatible is programmed with Cisco-recognized EEPROM, so IOS, IOS XE, and NX-OS register it as a Cisco-branded optic on first insertion. The service unsupported-transceiver and no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid CLI workarounds are not needed. If a port flags the module after insertion, check the line card model against the Cisco 10G Transceiver Compatibility Matrix and confirm the running software supports SFP-10G-ER on that platform.
What is the difference between the Cisco SFP-10G-ER and the SFP-10G-ER-S?
Both parts run 10GBASE-ER at 1550 nm over 40 km of single-mode fiber with the same connector and DDM behaviour. The SFP-10G-ER on this page carries the broader Cisco multi-rate envelope: 10GE plus 1GE Ethernet, 8G/10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64. The SFP-10G-ER-S is Cisco's 10 Gigabit Ethernet-only variant, with no Fibre Channel and no STM-64 support. For Ethernet-only deployments either part works on a Cisco platform that accepts it; for Fibre Channel or SONET/SDH long-reach on a Cisco platform that accepts SFP-10G-ER, the non-S part is the correct order.
