SFP-10G-ER-S Description
SFP-10G-ER-S is a Cisco S-Class 10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over G.652 single-mode fiber. It is used when a Cisco BOM requires an extended-reach 10G SFP+ optic, with Cisco-confirmed 1550 nm operation, up to 40 km reach, dual LC/PC connectors, 1.5W maximum power consumption, and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation.

Application Scenarios
Specify SFP-10G-ER-S when the bill of materials calls for Cisco’s S-Class 10GBASE-ER SFP+ optic and the fiber design is a 1550 nm G.652 single-mode span in the 40 km ER class.
For replacements in Ethernet uplink designs, check that the service does not require FCoE before approving the ER-S order. Cisco calls out no FCoE support for this S-Class ER module.
Separate SFP-10G-ER-S from SFP-10G-ER and SFP-10G-ER-I in spare pools. The receiving check should preserve the S-Class PID, commercial temperature class, and Cisco host-support record instead of grouping all 1550 nm ER optics together.

- In a SFP-10G-ER-S vs SFP-10G-ER comparison, both entries keep the 40 km ER reach, 1550 nm wavelength, G.652 SMF medium, red latch, and commercial temperature class; the table separates SFP-10G-ER-S as the S-Class order.
- The SFP-10G-ER-S difference from SFP-10G-ER-I is temperature and protocol scope, because SFP-10G-ER-I is the industrial-temperature multirate ER/EW/OTU2e listing while SFP-10G-ER-S is the S-Class 10GBASE-ER listing.
- For which model to choose, use the SKU that matches the required module class, temperature class, protocol scope, and Cisco host-support entry rather than swapping ER optics by reach alone.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for Cisco S-Class ER orders
Select SFP-10G-ER-S when the approved BOM names the Cisco S-Class 10GBASE-ER SFP+ PID and the link design fits a 1550 nm G.652 SMF path up to 40 km.
2. Keep FCoE out of the scope
Use another approved optic path when the service requirement includes FCoE, because Cisco documents no FCoE support for SFP-10G-ER-S.
3. Use ER-I for industrial sites
Move to SFP-10G-ER-I when the site needs the Cisco industrial-temperature ER line or the multirate ER/EW/OTU2e protocol scope shown in Cisco’s ordering description.
4. Check host support before release
Verify the exact Cisco platform, port, and operating-system support in Cisco compatibility documentation before adding SFP-10G-ER-S to the quote.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Procurement Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
No-FCoE service check |
The circuit design is 10GBASE-ER Ethernet and does not require FCoE |
Keeps the order inside the Cisco ER-S support note |
|
Host matrix check |
Cisco compatibility documentation covers the target device, port type, and operating system |
Avoids relying on the SFP+ connector as a compatibility shortcut |
|
Optical-loss worksheet |
The 1550 nm G.652 SMF path has documented loss for the planned distance |
Keeps the 40 km class tied to the actual fiber plant |
|
Patch-cord connector check |
LC/PC or LC/UPC patch cords are specified, with APC excluded |
Prevents a connector mismatch during installation |
|
Short-span attenuation check |
The 15216 ATT LC 5= spare is planned when the link is shorter than 20 km |
Controls receiver overload exposure on short ER links |
|
Long-span engineering check |
Any path beyond 30 km has fiber-loss notes attached to the BOM |
Keeps extended ER deployment from being treated as a simple plug-in swap |
