1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Cisco SFP-10G-SR 10GBASE-SR SFP Module. This module is designed for high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables, commonly used in data centers and enterprise wiring closets.
The SFP-10G-SR is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ port on a Cisco switch or router. It connects the host device to a fiber optic network.
2. Product Features
- Supports 10GBASE-SR standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
- Designed for short-reach multimode fiber applications.
- Class 1 laser product for safety compliance.
- Compact SFP+ form factor for high-density installations.
- Hot-swappable for seamless integration and maintenance.
3. What's in the Box
Upon opening the package, verify that the following item is present:
- One (1) Cisco SFP-10G-SR= 10GBASE-SR SFP Module

4. Setup and Installation
Before installing the SFP-10G-SR module, ensure that the host device (e.g., Cisco switch or router) is powered off or that the port is disabled to prevent accidental damage. Always handle the module by its edges to avoid touching the electrical contacts.
4.1 Safety Precautions
- Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when handling the module.
- Do not look directly into the optical ports when the module is powered, as it emits invisible laser radiation.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the host device.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Orient the SFP-10G-SR module correctly with the SFP+ port on your host device. The module typically has a label on the top side.
- Gently slide the module into the SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Connect the appropriate multimode fiber optic cable to the module's optical port. Ensure the fiber connectors are clean.
- If the host device was powered off, power it on. If the port was disabled, enable it through the device's command-line interface (CLI) or management interface.
- Verify the link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful connection.
5. Operating the Module
The Cisco SFP-10G-SR module operates automatically once installed and connected to a compatible fiber optic network. It facilitates 10 Gigabit Ethernet communication between the host device and the connected network segment.
5.1 Link Status Indicators
Refer to your host device's documentation for specific LED indicators related to SFP+ port status. Generally, a solid green LED indicates a stable link, while a blinking LED may indicate activity or a problem.
5.2 Hot Swapping
The SFP-10G-SR module supports hot-swapping, meaning it can be inserted or removed while the host device is powered on, provided the port is not actively transmitting data. It is recommended to disable the port via software before removal to prevent data loss or errors.
6. Maintenance
The SFP-10G-SR module requires minimal maintenance. The primary focus should be on keeping the optical connectors clean and ensuring proper environmental conditions.
6.1 Cleaning Optical Connectors
- Always use approved fiber optic cleaning tools and methods.
- Never use alcohol or other solvents that may leave residue.
- Inspect connectors for dust or debris before connecting.
6.2 Environmental Considerations
- Operate the module within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (refer to host device specifications).
- Ensure adequate airflow around the host device to prevent overheating.
