Cisco SFP-10G-LRM
The Cisco 10GBASE-LRM Module supports link lengths of 220m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met over FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. No mode conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3 or OM4. For additional information on mode conditioning patch cord requirements please see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/product_bulletin_c25-530836.html.

- ** Links longer than 30km are considered engineered links as per IEEE 802.3ae.
- *** Specified at transmission wavelength.
- **** Requires 5 dB 1550nm fixed loss attenuator for < 20km. Attenuator is available as a spare.
- The part number is 15216 ATT LC 5=.
Optical Transmit and Receive Specifications
- * Transmitter and receiver power is in average, unless specified.

SFP-10G-ZR Optical Parameters
Note: Parameters are specified over temperature and at end of life unless otherwise noted. When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used (<40km), an inline optical attenuator must be used to avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.
