Model-specific specifications and compatibility

SubcategorySFP transceivers: optical and copper
Exact product/modelCisco SFP-10/25G-LR-S 10/25GBASE-LR SFP28 Transceiver
Form factorSFP28, hot-pluggable dual-rate optical module.
Optical interface10GBASE-LR or 25GBASE-LR, selected by a supported host port; 1310nm over single-mode fiber, with 10km maximum reach.
Nominal rate (not measured)10Gb/s or 25Gb/s nominal, depending on the qualified host port and configured Ethernet mode.
Wavelength and reachUp to 10km on single-mode fiber at supported LR operation.
Connector and fiber typeDuplex LC; 1310nm single-mode fiber (SMF).
Host coding and compatibility caveatRequires an SFP28-capable Cisco interface with support for this exact PID and the intended 10G or 25G mode. At 25GbE, verify the platform’s FEC requirements and port configuration in the Cisco data sheet and TMG matrix; an SFP+ slot or a generic SFP28 cage is not sufficient proof of compatibility.
Variant / deployment caveatLR specifies the single-mode channel and distance; do not connect directly to SR multimode optics. Exact support may differ between Cisco platform families and software releases.
Measured throughputNo bench result is claimed. Actual payload throughput depends on the host, link partner, protocol overhead and test method.

Host qualification and installation notes

Requires an SFP28-capable Cisco interface with support for this exact PID and the intended 10G or 25G mode. At 25GbE, verify the platform’s FEC requirements and port configuration in the Cisco data sheet and TMG matrix; an SFP+ slot or a generic SFP28 cage is not sufficient proof of compatibility.

LR specifies the single-mode channel and distance; do not connect directly to SR multimode optics. Exact support may differ between Cisco platform families and software releases.

Check both endpoint modules, fiber grade, polarity, connector cleanliness and host port configuration. Verify the exact transceiver PID and revision against the current manufacturer compatibility source before placing the link in service.

Archival, ESD and fiber-safety notes

Record the exact PID, hardware revision, host port, firmware/software release and available digital optical diagnostics. Store the module in ESD-safe packaging with dust caps fitted. Never look into an active fiber or transceiver aperture.
