Product Identity

The Cisco X2-10GB-SR is a 10 Gbps transceiver module designed for Cisco switches and routers. It provides a single 10GBase-SR port with an SC duplex connector for short-range multimode fibre links.

Target User

This module suits network engineers deploying 10 Gigabit Ethernet in data centres or wiring closets using existing multimode fibre infrastructure. It is not for environments requiring single-mode fibre, longer reach beyond 400 m, or SFP+ form-factor slots.

Critical Spec

The module operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports link lengths of 26 m on standard multimode fibre, 300 m on 2000 MHz·km OM3 fibre, and 400 m on 4700 MHz·km OM4 fibre.

Questions about this item

How is the Cisco X2-10GB-SR installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the hot-swappable module into an Ethernet X2 port on a compatible Cisco switch or router until it clicks; the step often missed is removing the dust plugs from the SC duplex connector and the port before seating the transceiver.

What maintenance or replacement will the X2-10GB-SR need later?

Clean the 850 nm SC duplex connector with a lint-free wipe and approved solvent whenever link errors appear; replace the module if optical output degrades below the receiver sensitivity after cleaning.

What distance limit appears first under sustained 10 Gbps use on standard multimode fibre?

The 26 m limit on standard FDDI-grade multimode fibre is reached before the 300 m OM3 or 400 m OM4 distances.
