| 10GBASE-ER | 40km | OS2 SMF / Duplex LC | Metro links beyond standard LR distance | Optical budget, fiber attenuation and connector cleanliness |
| 10GBASE-ZR | 80km | OS2 SMF / Duplex LC | Regional backbone / POP links | Optical budget, receiver power and attenuation requirement |
Frequently Asked Questions
i. When should I choose 10G SR instead of 10G LR?
Choose 10G SR for short-reach multimode fiber links inside data centers or equipment rooms. Choose 10G LR when the link uses single-mode fiber and needs longer reach, such as campus or building-to-building connections.
ii. What fiber is required for 10G SR?
10G SR uses multimode fiber with duplex LC connectors. Maximum reach depends on fiber grade, with up to 300m on OM3 MMF.
iii. When should I use SR optics instead of DAC or AOC?
Use SR optics when structured fiber cabling, patch panels or flexible module replacement are required. DAC is usually best for very short copper links, while AOC is often used for simple pre-terminated short optical links.
iv. Can this 10G SR module work with my existing switch or NIC?
Yes. Axonode can provide compatible coding for Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE and other vendor environments. Please share the exact switch or NIC model before shipment.
v. What information should I provide before ordering?
Please confirm your switch or NIC model, required compatibility, fiber type, link distance and whether the link uses direct cabling or structured patch panels. Axonode can help verify the correct short-reach option before shipment.
Planning a 10G short-reach link?
