Description

The SFP-10G-LRM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-LRM. This 10GBASE-LRM SFP+ transceiver operates at 1310nm and delivers plug-and-play 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over legacy multimode and single-mode fibre infrastructure. - IEEE 802.3aq 10GBASE-LRM compliance guarantees interoperability with Cisco SFP+ platforms and third-party 10GbE equipment - 220m reach over FDDI-grade, OM1, OM2, and OM3 multimode fibre using 1310nm wavelength; 300m over G.652 single-mode fibre - Mode conditioning patch cord required for FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 fibre to meet full specifications; not required for OM3, OM4, or single-mode deployments - Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor with duplex LC connector and DOM support for real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, voltage, and bias current - Designed for brownfield upgrades where 10GBASE-SR modules cannot achieve sufficient reach on legacy OM1 or OM2 installations

Features

• IEEE 802.3aq compliance delivers 10.3125 Gbps line rate with 64b/66b encoding, ensuring full compatibility with any 10GBASE-LRM link partner regardless of vendor
• 1310nm Fabry-Perot laser technology enables consistent 220m reach across all multimode fibre grades, solving the distance limitation of 10GBASE-SR on legacy OM1 and OM2 plant
• Mode conditioning patch cord mandatory for FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 fibre to couple the transmitter correctly and prevent differential mode delay; OM3, OM4, and single-mode fibre require standard LC patch cords only
• Single-mode fibre capability extends reach to 300m over G.652 without mode conditioning, offering deployment flexibility for mixed-fibre environments or short single-mode runs
• Digital diagnostics (DDM) accessible via SFF-8472 interface provide real-time visibility into transmit power, receive power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current
• Hot-swappable SFP+ MSA form factor with duplex LC interface supports field installation and replacement without powering down the host platform
• Minimum link distance of 2m per IEEE 802.3ae allows rack-internal and adjacent-rack connections without optical attenuation

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco SFP-10G-LRM?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-LRM-BCC conforms to the IEEE 802.3aq 10GBASE-LRM standard and the SFP+ MSA, delivering the same 10.3125 Gbps data rate, 1310nm wavelength, and reach profile as the Cisco original. It is plug-and-play compatible with any Cisco platform that supports the SFP-10G-LRM.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this module?
A: This module is compatible with Cisco switches and routers that have SFP+ ports supporting 10GBASE-LRM optics. Refer to the Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix for platform-specific qualification, as supported models span Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, and other product families.

Q: When is a mode conditioning patch cord required?
A: Mode conditioning patch cords are required when deploying this module over FDDI-grade, OM1, or OM2 multimode fibre to meet full IEEE 802.3aq distance specifications and prevent differential mode delay. They are not required for OM3, OM4, or single-mode fibre. The patch cord must be installed at the transmitter end of each fibre pair.

Q: Can this module operate on single-mode fibre, and what is the maximum reach?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-LRM-BCC supports up to 300m on standard G.652 single-mode fibre without requiring mode conditioning. This makes it suitable for short single-mode links or mixed deployments where both multimode and single-mode segments exist. Standard LC/PC patch cords are used for single-mode connections.

Q: What is the minimum link distance, and why does it matter?
A: The minimum link distance is 2 metres per IEEE 802.3ae. Unlike some 10G optics that require attenuation at very short distances, 10GBASE-LRM modules have no minimum attenuation requirement, allowing direct rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections without additional optical components.

Tested on real vendor hardware in Sydney

Every Blue Cable Co transceiver is coded for your platform and tested in our Sydney test rack on real vendor switches and firewalls before it ships. We check it is recognised and links up the same way the OEM optic does, so you don't find an "unsupported transceiver" error after it's installed.

Brands tested: Cisco, Meraki, Arista, Aruba, HPE, Juniper, Dell, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Check Point, Sophos, Moxa and NVIDIA. Speeds up to 100Gb.
