Cisco compatible SFP-10G-SR Description
EdgeOptic's SFP-10G-SR compatible is a Cisco-coded multi-rate version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. It covers both Cisco ordering codes that engineers see in the field: SFP-10G-SR (the standard PID) and SFP-10G-SR= (the spare / standalone PID). Both reference the same 850 nm VCSEL module; the trailing “=” is Cisco's spare-part convention, not a different optical part.
Optical specs follow the 10G-SFP-300 root: 850 nm transmit and receive, 20 nm bandwidth (840 to 860 nm), 300 m over OM3 and 400 m over OM4 / OM5 multimode fiber, duplex LC/UPC connector, 6.1 dB average link budget. Transmit power is −5 to 0 dBm and receiver sensitivity is −11.1 dBm with a 0 dBm overload. The transmitter is a VCSEL laser, the receiver a PIN photodiode, and DOM/DDM is supported per SFF-8472 for live monitoring of TX bias, optical power, voltage and case temperature.
Unlike the cost-optimized SFP-10G-SR-S sibling, which Cisco scopes as Ethernet-only, the standard SFP-10G-SR is documented across Cisco's multi-rate use cases. The EdgeOptic compatible inherits the 10G-SFP-300 root's protocol scope: 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps), 1G / 2G / 4G / 8G / 10G Fibre Channel (1.0625 to 10.52 Gbps), and STM-64 SDH (9.95 Gbps). Verify the specific protocol against your platform's transceiver compatibility table before ordering.
EEPROM is programmed with Cisco-recognized vendor identification, so Nexus 9000, Catalyst 9300 / 9500 and other Cisco platforms that list SFP-10G-SR in their hardware compatibility tables accept the module without needing the service unsupported-transceiver workaround. Standard commercial temperature range 0 to 70 °C, +3.3 V single supply, compliant with CE, IEC 60825-1 Class 1 laser safety, RoHS, SFF-8431 and the SFP MSA.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For volume pricing, custom EEPROM coding, or compatibility verification on a specific Cisco chassis, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the EdgeOptic SFP-10G-SR compatible work on Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches without the service unsupported-transceiver command?
Yes. The module is programmed with Cisco-recognized vendor identification, so platforms that list SFP-10G-SR in their hardware compatibility tables, including Nexus 9000 and Catalyst 9300 / 9500, accept it as a recognized transceiver. The service unsupported-transceiver command is not required and we do not recommend disabling Cisco transceiver verification on production equipment.
What is the difference between Cisco SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-SR= (the "=" suffix)?
Both ordering codes refer to the same 10GBASE-SR SFP+ module. SFP-10G-SR is the standard PID used when the module is bundled or pre-installed; SFP-10G-SR= is Cisco's spare / standalone PID, used when a procurement team orders the optic on its own. The trailing "=" is Cisco's part-number convention for spares and does not indicate a different optical part. The EdgeOptic compatible covers both ordering codes.
Does SFP-10G-SR support Fibre Channel as well as 10G Ethernet?
The EdgeOptic compatible inherits the 10G-SFP-300 root's multi-rate scope: 10G Ethernet plus 1G / 2G / 4G / 8G / 10G Fibre Channel and STM-64 SDH. Whether your specific Cisco platform exposes Fibre Channel mode on a given port depends on the host (typical examples are MDS / Nexus storage line cards). Confirm the port mode against the platform's transceiver and FC compatibility documentation before deployment.
