FAQ
Is this SFP-10G-SR compatible with Cisco switches?
Yes. It is fully compatible with Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches that support SFP+ 10G ports.
What type of fiber cable is required?
This module uses multimode fiber (MMF) with LC-LC duplex connectors. OM3 or OM4 fiber is recommended.
What is the maximum distance supported?
- OM3 fiber: up to 300 meters
