SFP-10G-ZR Description
SFP-10G-ZR is a Cisco multirate 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ transceiver for long-reach 10G optical links over standard ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber. It supports 10GBASE-ZR, 10GBASE-ZW, and OTU2/OTU2e applications at a 1550 nm nominal wavelength, uses a dual LC/PC connector, and is documented for link lengths up to about 80 km. The module has a green bail latch, a maximum power consumption of 1.5W, and a commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature class, making it a Cisco SFP+ option for engineered metro or extended campus fiber paths where the target host platform is confirmed in Cisco compatibility documentation.

Application Scenarios
Use SFP-10G-ZR when the bill of materials calls for Cisco’s ZR reach class and the fiber path is standard G.652 single-mode cabling at 1550 nm.
Keep this PID in the order when the service design names Cisco’s ZR, ZW, or OTU2/OTU2e multirate description instead of a plain 10GBASE-ER Ethernet optic.
Separate SFP-10G-ZR from SFP-10G-ZR-S and SFP-10G-ZR-I in inventory. The shared ZR family does not remove the buying differences around S-Class FCoE support notes, temperature class, and documented reach.

- In a SFP-10G-ZR vs SFP-10G-ZR-S comparison, both table entries share the 1550 nm ZR reach class, G.652 SMF medium, green latch, 1.5W power rating, and commercial temperature class; SFP-10G-ZR-S is separated by the S-Class no-FCoE note.
- The SFP-10G-ZR difference from SFP-10G-ZR-I is temperature and reach: SFP-10G-ZR is the commercial ZR line at up to about 80 km, while SFP-10G-ZR-I is the industrial-temperature ZR line with a 70 km reach statement and 2W power rating.
- SFP-10G-ZR vs SFP-10G-ER is a reach and protocol-scope comparison because SFP-10G-ZR is Cisco’s longer multirate ZR listing, while SFP-10G-ER is the 40 km 10GBASE-ER listing.
- For which model to choose, align the SKU with reach class, service protocol, operating-temperature requirement, attenuator plan, and Cisco host-compatibility result. SFP-10G-LR is included as an additional same-family comparison point.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for Cisco ZR distance class
Select SFP-10G-ZR when the design needs Cisco’s commercial-temperature ZR SFP+ optic for a standard G.652 single-mode span approaching the 80 km class.
2. Keep ER orders separate
Use SFP-10G-ER only when the fiber design fits Cisco’s 40 km ER class; do not substitute ER and ZR optics only because both use 1550 nm SMF.
3. Check S-Class and industrial variants
Move to SFP-10G-ZR-S when the approved BOM specifically names the S-Class PID, or to SFP-10G-ZR-I when the site requires Cisco’s industrial-temperature ZR option.
4. Verify host and attenuation before release
Confirm the Cisco device, SFP+ port, software support, optical-loss worksheet, and attenuator value before approving this SKU for quote or replacement stock.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Procurement Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
Host support |
Cisco compatibility documentation covers the target device, SFP+ port, and operating system |
Avoids approving the optic only because the port is physically SFP+ |
|
Fiber span |
The path uses standard G.652 single-mode fiber and fits the ZR reach design |
Keeps the 80 km class tied to the real fiber plant |
|
Attenuator value |
Shorter spans apply Cisco’s ZR attenuator distance bands below 45 km |
Reduces receiver overload risk on short ZR links |
|
Service protocol |
The network design calls for ZR, ZW, or OTU2/OTU2e support rather than only an ER Ethernet optic |
Keeps the order aligned with Cisco’s multirate description |
|
Connector plan |
Patch cords use LC/PC or LC/UPC ends and exclude APC connectors |
Matches Cisco’s connector rule for this SFP+ family |
