FAQs

What is the X2-10GB-ZR= used for?

It is used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet long-distance fiber connections, supporting up to 80 km over single-mode fiber.

What fiber type does X2-10GB-ZR= require?

It requires single-mode fiber (SMF) to achieve long-distance performance.

What is the wavelength of the X2-10GB-ZR= module?

It operates at 1550nm, which is ideal for long-reach transmission.

What connector does this transceiver use?

This module uses an SC duplex connector.

How far can X2-10GB-ZR= transmit data?

It supports up to 80 km (49.7 miles), depending on fiber quality and network conditions.

Is this transceiver compatible with all Cisco switches?

No. It works only with devices that support the X2 transceiver form factor. Always confirm your platform supports X2 modules.

Is X2-10GB-ZR= good for short distances?

It can work, but it is mainly for long-haul links. For short runs, SR or LR optics usually make more practical sense.
