FAQs
What is Cisco X2 module? ›
The Cisco 10GBASE X2 modules offers customers a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center, enterprise wiring closet, and service provider transport applications.
What is the range of 10gb SR? ›10GBASE-SR Multimode SFP+
SR stands for short-range, the transmission distance of 10GBASE-SR modules can reach up to 300 meters matched with OM3 multimode fiber (MMF). Implemented with a VCSEL, 10GBASE-SR transceivers also known as the lowest-cost, lowest-power modules.
All products are covered with a lifetime replacement warranty and our 60 day NO QUIBBLE RETURN policy. Switch SFP Part SFP-10G-T-X-C is in UK stock and 100% Compatible with Cisco part SFP-10G-T-X extended temperature rated.
How far can a 10GBASE-SR SFP module be? ›The Cisco 10GBASE-SR module supports a link length of 26 meters on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fiber (MMF).
How to choose Cisco SFP module? ›SFP modules are distinguished by their bandwidth capabilities, wavelength, and distance capability. The SFP you choose must be compatible with the fiber cable you are installing. Single mode fiber requires a single mode compatible SFP. Multimode fiber requires a multimode compatible SFP.
How many modules does Cisco have? ›The CCNA Routing and Switching programme can be completed as four separate modules.
What is the maximum distance for SFP? ›Single mode SFP transceivers can transmit anywhere from 2km all the way to 80km in distance. Standard Single mode SFPs can transmit up to 10km, while Extended Single mode SFPs, up to 80km. For shorter distances, and a cheaper option, multi mode SFPs are a great solution.
What is the transmit and receive bandwidth of a 10GB SFP+ module? ›This 850 nm VCSEL 10Gigabit SFP+ transceiver is designed to transmit and receive optical data over 50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm multimode optical fiber (Table 1).
What is the longest 10GBASE? ›10GBase-CX1, also referred to as a direct attach cable (DAC), is the SFP+ copper standard. The standard has a maximum distance of 10 meters, though Cisco currently only offers lengths up to 5m. This is actually a cable with SFP+ ends, not a module with a separate cable.
Do SFP modules go bad? ›The Main Causes of SFP Module Failures
The end face of the fiber connector and optical slots is exposed to the environment and contaminated by dust. Using the scratched or poor-quality fiber connector will cause the SFPs failures.
How do I know if my cable is SFP or failure? ›
- enc out errors alone imply primarily a cable issue.
- enc out and crc err in combination primarily imply a GBIC/SFP problem.
- disc c3 combined with c3 timeout tx suggest SFP faulty.
The simplest way to test an SFP transceiver is with the FiberLert™ live fiber detector, which lights up and beeps when placed in front of an active fiber or port.
Can you use two different SFP modules? ›If the wavelength, the speed, and the fiber type of the modules are the same, plus operating normally on the original switches separately, then adopting two modules from different brands will work. Can I use 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ modules together? The answer is yes.
Which SFP module do I need? ›If you have a multimode fiber cabling structure, then choose the multimode SFP. If you have a single mode fiber cabling, a single mode transceiver is the only choice.
Can you mix LR and SR SFP? ›It will not work. Need to use the same optics and the same type of cable on both sides.
What is the difference between SFP module and SFP transceiver? ›SFP and SFP+ transceivers are virtually identical in size and appearance. The primary difference is that SFP+ is an updated version that supports higher speeds up to 10Gbps. The difference in data rate also accounts for a difference in transmission distance—SFP typically has a longer transmission distance.
What is the most common SFP module? ›According to the transmission speed, the most common SFP module on the market today is the 1Gb, including 1000base-T/TX, 1000base-SX, 1000base-LX/LX10, 1000base-BX10, 1000base-LX/LH, 1000base-EX, and 1000base-ZX.
How do I know if my SFP is single mode or multimode? ›A: Apart from the Bale Clasp color coding, single-mode and multimode fiber cables can also be identified by the color of the patch cord. In single-mode optical fiber cable, the patch cord is in yellow color; and in multimode fiber cable, the patch cord comes in orange color.
What is the hardest Cisco test? ›Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE)
The CCIE is the highest level of certification offered by Cisco and is one of the most respected and sought-after IT certifications today. It's also one of the most difficult to earn.
Candidates cannot retake the same written exam more than four times per rolling calendar year regardless of passing or failing the exam.
What are Cisco modules? ›
Cisco EAP-FAST Module is an Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST), an EAP type from Cisco Systems. Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) is a publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems.
What temperature does Cisco SFP run at? ›For example, the temperature range of optical transceiver is larger than copper module, and the temperature range of SFP module is smaller than SFP+ module such as 1000BASE-SX SFP is from 0 to 70°C while 10Gbase-SR is from -40°C to 85°C.
Do I need SFP on both sides? ›That is perfectly fine and normal. You do not need a transceiver on both ends - just whichever side you intend to use an SFP/SFP+/QSFP port on.
What is the range of 10G SFP module? ›SFP-10G-ER(Extened Range) supports transmission distance of up to 40 kilometers on standard Single-Mode Fiber. It is widely applied in data center and enterprise industrial park . SFP-10G-ZR(Ze Best Range) supports transmission distance of up to 80 kilometers with 1550nm waverlength on standard Single-Mode Fiber.
What does a Cisco network module do? ›A network module is a software module that implements a specific function in a network stack, such as a data link interface, a transport protocol, or a network application. A network module can be a provider module, a client module, or both, depending on where it is located in the network stack.
What is the use of Cisco SFP module? ›The SFP devices allow the switch to connect to fiber cables of different types — including single-mode and multimode–and speeds (1 Gbps, 10 Gbps), or even Ethernet copper cables, such as CAT5e and CAT6.
What does a Cisco supervisor module do? ›Performs routing for the chassis. The MSFC contains the route processor (RP) and Switch processor (SP) for the router. Runs Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols, such as the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and others.
