  • Cisco® 100Base transceivers: Available in SFP and SFP-BiDi form-factors; transmit data at a rate of 100 megabits per second (Mbps)
  • Cisco® 40GBase transceivers: Available in QSFP+ and QSFP+-BiDi form-factors; transmit data at a rate of 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
  • Cisco® 10GBase transceivers: Available in SFP+, SFP+-BiDi, X2, XFP, and XENPAK form-factors; transmit data at a rate of 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps)

Cisco® Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver Types:

Cisco small form-factor pluggable transceivers are available in the following form-factors: SFP, SFP+, SFP+-BiDi, and SFP-BiDi.

Cisco® SFP transceivers are hot-swappable and support digital optical monitoring (DOM). SFP transceivers are available at both 100Base and 1000Base rates in the following interfaces:

  • T: Operates on a standard Cat5 twisted-pair copper cable and supports links up to 100 meters
  • SX: Operates on multimode fiber and supports links up to 550 meters
  • LX/LH: Operates on both multimode and singlemode fiber, and supports links up to 10 kilometers over singlemode and 550 meters over multimode fibers
  • EX: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports links up to 40 kilometers
  • ZX: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports links up to 70 kilometers

SFP transceivers are also available in OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 rates, and with CWDM and DWDM interfaces.

Cisco® SFP+ transceivers are the smallest 10G form-factor, are hot-swappable and support digital optical monitoring (DOM). These transceivers are interoperable with 10GBase XFP, X2 and XENPAK transceivers. SFP+ transceivers are available in the following interfaces:

  • 10G-SR: Operates on multimode fiber and supports links up to 26 meters
  • 10G-LR: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports links up to 10 kilometers
  • 10G-LRM: Operates on multimode fiber and supports links up to 220 meters
  • 10G-ER: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports links up to 40 kilometers
  • FET-10G:Operates on OM3 multimode fiber and supports links up to 100 meters
  • SFP+ Copper: Operates on DAC cable and supports links up to 10 meters

SFP+ transceivers are also available in OC-192/STM-64 rates, and with CWDM and DWDM interfaces.

Cisco® SFP+-BiDi transceivers are sold both individually and in pairs. These transceivers offer bi-directional data links on singlemode fiber up to 60 kilometers. Cisco SFP+-BiDi transceivers are available in the following interfaces:

  • 10GBX-U/D-20: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 20 kilometers
  • 10GBX-U/D-40: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 40 kilometers
  • 10GBX-U/D-60: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 60 kilometers
  • 10GBX-D-1330: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 20 kilometers
  • 10GBX-U-1270: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 20 kilometers

Cisco® SFP-BiDi transceivers are sold both individually and in pairs. These transceivers offer bi-directional data links over singlemode fiber up to 120 kilometers. Cisco SFP+-BiDi transceivers are available at both 100Base and 1000Base rates in the following interfaces:

  • BX10-D/U: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 10 kilometers
  • BX20-D/U: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 20 kilometers
  • BX40-D/U: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 40 kilometers
  • BX80-D/U: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 80 kilometers
  • BX120-D/U: Operates on singlemode fiber and supports bidirectional links up to 120 kilometers

Other Cisco Transceiver From-Factors:

In addition to small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver modules, Cisco® offers transceivers in the following form-factors: QSFP+, X2, XENPAK and GBIC. FluxLight is sure to have the compatible Cisco® transceiver module you need at a price you can afford!
