Cisco compatible SFP-10G-LR Description

The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-10 is a compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-LR 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver. It provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber at 1310nm, reaching up to 10km with a duplex LC connector. This module is Cisco EEPROM coded and does not require the "service unsupported-transceiver" CLI command.

The transceiver operates at 10.3125 Gbps, supporting 10GBASE-LR (IEEE 802.3ae). It uses a 1310nm DFB laser transmitter paired with a PIN photodiode receiver, with a minimum link budget of 6dB over standard G.652 single-mode fiber.

This module is compatible with Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, ISR, and Meraki MS series switches and routers with SFP+ ports. The Cisco-coded EEPROM is recognized natively without CLI overrides.

SFP-10G-LR is Cisco's standard 10GBASE-LR part number. SFP-10G-LR= (with the equals sign) is the separately orderable spare. Both refer to the same module.

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is supported per SFF-8472. The module reports TX/RX optical power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage in real time. CE/RoHS certified, commercial temperature range (0 to 70C).

All EdgeOptic modules ship with a lifetime warranty and are tested before dispatch. For volume pricing or project support, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cisco SFP-10G-LR and SFP-10G-LR-S?

The SFP-10G-LR is Cisco's standard 10GBASE-LR module, qualified across a broad range of Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, and ISR platforms. The SFP-10G-LR-S is a cost-reduced variant qualified primarily on Catalyst switching platforms. Both operate at 1310nm over SMF for 10km and carry the same traffic types. Check Cisco's platform compatibility matrix to confirm which SKU your switch requires.

What is the minimum distance for the SFP-10G-LR?

IEEE 802.3ae specifies a minimum cable plant length of 2 meters for 10GBASE-LR to prevent receiver overload at maximum Tx power. Using fiber shorter than 2 meters risks exceeding the receiver's maximum input power. An inline attenuator is recommended for very short single-mode patches.

Does the Cisco SFP-10G-LR work in Meraki switches?

Meraki switches accept Cisco-coded SFP+ modules. The SFP-10G-LR works in Meraki MS series switches with SFP+ ports. Meraki does not require any special configuration for Cisco-coded transceivers.
