Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ Modules Technical Specifications

Technical Specifications

Platform Support

Cisco SFP+ modules are supported on Cisco switches and routers."Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix":

Connectors and Cabling

Connectors: Dual LC/PC connector (-SR, -LRM, -LR and -ER)

Note: Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified in the standards section.

Table 1 provides cabling specifications for the Cisco SFP+ modules.
