The Cisco XFP transceiver module, part number XFP-10G-MM-SR-RF, is a high-performance, hot-swappable input/output device designed for high-speed data transmission over multimode fibre. It operates on the 10GBASE-SR standard, supporting data rates of up to 10 Gbps over short-range communications, usually spanning distances of up to 300 metres using 850 nm wavelength multimode fibre.
This transceiver is designed for use in high-speed communication networks such as data centres, enterprise switching and routing platforms, and service provider networks. It offers a convenient solution for those looking to expand their network capabilities without the need for complete infrastructure overhauls. The XFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of Cisco networking hardware, thanks to its standardised design.
In terms of physical performance, the module is hot-swappable, which means it can be removed or installed in a live system without the need to power down the unit, ensuring minimal disruption. It's also multi-vendor compatible and supports diagnostic monitoring features to ensure the reliability and performance of the link. These diagnostic functions allow users to monitor various parameters such as optical output power, sensitivity levels, and temperature, all in real time.
This product is typically used in scenarios requiring high-speed data transmission over shorter distances, such as within a data centre or between servers and switches distributing information across networks. Additionally, the module is lightweight and compact, with low power consumption, making it suitable for high-density infrastructure configurations.
