Cisco 10G Ethernet SFP Modules

 

It is well known that Cisco is a worldwide leader in the telecommunication industry. Cisco products and services are very welcome among the users, which ranges from application networking services, optical networking, to routers, switches, interfaces and modules, etc. This paper will introduce Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules.

10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE, 10Gbe, or 10 GigE) is a group of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second (10 billion bits per second). It was first defined by the IEEE 802.3ae-2002 standard. Below is part of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards related to this topic.

According to the standards, Cisco SFP modules for 10 Gigabit Ethernet have different types, such as Cisco SFP-10G-LRM module, Cisco SFP-10G-ER module, Cisco SFP-10G-ZR module, Cisco SFP-10G-SR module and Cisco SFP-10G-LR module, etc. Below will introduce two most common Cisco SFPs: Cisco SFP-10G-SR and Cisco SFP-10G-LR.

Cisco SFP-10G-SR

The Cisco SFP-10G-SR, compatible with 10GBASE-SR standard, supports a link length of 26m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fiber (MMF). Using 2000MHz km MMF (OM3), it is possible to support link lengths up to 300m. While using 4700MHz km MMF (OM4), the link lengths could be up to 400m. Cisco 10GBASE-SR SFP module has 850nm lasers and uses LC duplex connector. The transmit and receive wavelength could range from 840nm to 860nm. The bail latch color of SFP-10G-SR is beige and it can support commercial temperature range (COM): 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F). Below is a picture of Cisco SFP-10G-SR.

Cisco SFP-10G-LR

The Cisco SFP-10G-LR is compliant with 10GBASE-LR standard and supports a link length of 10 kilometers on standard single-mode fiber (SMF). Cisco 10GBASE-LR SFP module uses 1310nm lasers and supports LC duplex connector. The transmit and receive wavelength of Cisco 10G LR transceiver module could range from 1260nm to 1355nm. And the bail latch color of SFP-10G-LR is blue. Also, its operating temperature range is 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F). Below is a picture of Cisco SFP-10G-LR.

As stated above, Cisco SFP-10G-SR and Cisco SFP-10G-LR have their own features and can be applied in 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
