SFP-10G-ZR-S Description
SFP-10G-ZR-S is a Cisco S-Class 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ transceiver for 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical links over ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber. It is built for long-reach 1550 nm SMF connections up to about 80 km using dual LC/PC connectors, with green bail latch identification, commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation, 1.5W maximum power consumption, and no Fibre Channel over Ethernet support.

Application Scenarios
Specify SFP-10G-ZR-S when the approved Cisco bill of materials names an S-Class 10GBASE-ZR optic for a 1550 nm G.652 single-mode fiber run in the 80 km reach class.
Keep this SKU tied to 10G Ethernet links that do not require FCoE. Cisco marks the S-Class ZR PID with no FCoE support, so storage-converged traffic needs a different approved optics review.
Reserve SFP-10G-ZR-S separately from SFP-10G-ZR and SFP-10G-ZR-I. Receiving and maintenance teams should preserve the S-Class suffix, commercial temperature class, and Cisco host-support evidence instead of grouping all green-latch ZR optics together.

- In a SFP-10G-ZR-S vs SFP-10G-ZR comparison, both entries share the Cisco 1550 nm ZR distance class, G.652 SMF medium, green latch, commercial temperature class, and 1.5W power rating; SFP-10G-ZR-S is the S-Class 10GBASE-ZR order line with no FCoE support.
- The SFP-10G-ZR-S difference from SFP-10G-ZR-I is temperature and reach, because SFP-10G-ZR-I is the industrial-temperature ZR listing with a 70 km reach statement and 2W power rating.
- SFP-10G-ZR-S vs SFP-10G-ER-S is a reach-class comparison: the current SKU is the S-Class ZR option at up to about 80 km, while SFP-10G-ER-S is the S-Class ER option at up to 40 km.
- For which model to choose, match the order to S-Class requirement, service protocol, temperature class, attenuation plan, and Cisco compatibility result for the target host.
Selection Guide
1. Use it only for S-Class ZR demand
Select SFP-10G-ZR-S when the quote or replacement plan specifically calls for Cisco’s S-Class 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ PID on 1550 nm G.652 single-mode fiber.
2. Keep multirate requirements separate
Use SFP-10G-ZR instead when the design depends on Cisco’s multirate ZR, ZW, or OTU2/OTU2e ordering description rather than the S-Class ZR line.
3. Move to industrial ZR for temperature needs
Choose SFP-10G-ZR-I only when the site requires Cisco’s industrial-temperature ZR optic and the 70 km reach statement fits the link design.
4. Check host and link budget together
Approve the SKU after the Cisco device support record, SFP+ port, software entry, single-mode path loss, and ZR attenuator value have all been checked.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Procurement Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
FCoE exclusion |
The service design is 10GBASE-ZR Ethernet and does not require FCoE |
Keeps the order inside Cisco’s S-Class ZR support note |
|
Host compatibility record |
Cisco compatibility documentation covers the target device, SFP+ port, and operating system |
Avoids approving the optic from form factor and wavelength alone |
|
Fiber plant |
The path uses G.652 single-mode fiber and fits the ZR reach design |
Keeps the 80 km class tied to the actual cable plant instead of distance wording only |
|
Patch-cord connector |
LC/PC or LC/UPC patch cords are specified and APC connectors are excluded |
Matches Cisco’s connector rule for the SFP+ optical family |
|
Attenuator bands |
15 dB, 10 dB, or 5 dB attenuation is planned for the applicable sub-45 km ZR distance band |
Reduces receiver overload risk during short-span staging or migration |
