The Cisco X2-10GB-SR 10GBASE-SR X2 Transceiver Module is a high-speed optical module designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber networks. Built in the X2 form factor, the module complies with the 10GBASE-SR standard defined by IEEE 802.3ae, enabling reliable short-distance optical communication for enterprise networks, campus infrastructures, and data center environments.Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, the transceiver is optimized for short-range data transmission over multimode fiber (MMF). It supports a data rate of 10 Gbps and can achieve transmission distances of up to 300 meters when used with high-quality multimode fiber such as OM3. The module uses a duplex SC optical connector, providing compatibility with widely deployed fiber optic cabling systems used in network backbones and high-speed interconnects.
The X2-10GB-SR module includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor key operational parameters such as temperature, voltage, transmit optical power, and receive optical power. These diagnostic features help improve network management and troubleshooting.
The transceiver supports hot-swappable installation, allowing it to be inserted or removed from compatible Cisco switches and routers without interrupting network operations. Designed for dependable performance and stable optical signal transmission, the Cisco X2-10GB-SR module provides efficient and scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in demanding networking environments.
