Description

The SFP-10G-ZR-I-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-ZR-I. This industrial-grade SFP+ transceiver plugs into any SFP+ port and operates from -28°C to 85°C, with cold-start capability down to -40°C for harsh outdoor and industrial environments. - Multirate operation supports 10GBASE-ZR, 10GBASE-ZW, and OTU2/OTU2e protocols for deployment flexibility across Ethernet and optical transport applications - 70km reach over G.652 single-mode fibre at 1550nm wavelength, assuming 20 ps/(nm*km) chromatic dispersion, with maximum chromatic dispersion tolerance of 1400 ps/nm - Industrial temperature range with full optical traffic operation from -28°C to 85°C, plus low-speed DOM and I2C functions available during cold-start from -40°C to -28°C - Digital Optical Monitoring provides real-time access to transmit power, receive power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage per SFF-8472 MSA - Limiting electrical interface receiver eliminates the need for EDC PHY on the host board, simplifying integration into industrial switches and routers - LC/PC duplex connector, hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor, compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 standards

Features

• Multirate capability supporting 10GBASE-ZR, 10GBASE-ZW, and OTU2/OTU2e allows a single transceiver to serve Ethernet and optical transport network applications without separate inventories
• Limiting electrical interface receiver architecture eliminates dependence on host-side EDC PHY, enabling deployment in any SFP+ port and reducing platform integration constraints in industrial equipment
• Industrial temperature hardening maintains full 70km optical transmission from -28°C to 85°C, with cold-start logic and DOM monitoring operational down to -40°C for outdoor cabinet and utility substation deployments
• 1550nm C-band wavelength and 1400 ps/nm chromatic dispersion tolerance suit long-haul and metro transport over standard G.652 fibre without dispersion compensation
• Attenuator requirements for links under 40km protect the APD receiver from overload, a critical consideration for flexible deployment across varied distances in industrial networks
• Hot-swap capability and MSA-standard footprint ensure field replacement without system shutdown, minimizing downtime in mission-critical industrial automation and SCADA networks
• SFF-8472 DDM implementation exposes transmit power, receive power, temperature, bias current, and voltage via I2C for integration with network monitoring systems and predictive maintenance platforms

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco SFP-10G-ZR-I?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-ZR-I-BCC is a direct plug-and-play replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-ZR-I. It supports the same multirate protocols (10GBASE-ZR, 10GBASE-ZW, OTU2/OTU2e), 70km reach at 1550nm, and -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range. The limiting electrical interface receiver is compatible with any SFP+ port without requiring an EDC PHY on the host board.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this industrial-temperature transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in any Cisco platform with an SFP+ port that supports industrial-temperature optics. Common applications include industrial Ethernet switches, ruggedized routers for utilities and transportation, and outdoor network equipment. Verify compatibility for your specific model via the Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix, as not all platforms support the full industrial temperature range.

Q: What fibre attenuation is required for links shorter than 70km?
A: For links under 40km, you must install an inline optical attenuator to prevent receiver overload and damage. Cisco specifies a 5dB attenuator for links under 20km. At very short distances (under 5km), higher attenuation may be required. The receiver has an overload threshold of approximately -7dBm, while the transmitter outputs 0 to +4dBm, creating a significant power budget that requires management on short spans.

Q: How does the cold-start temperature behaviour affect deployment?
A: From -40°C to -28°C, the transceiver powers on and provides access to DOM parameters and I2C communication, but does not support optical traffic. Full 10G transmission becomes available once the module reaches -28°C. This cold-start design protects the laser and receiver during extreme cold while allowing environmental monitoring and remote diagnostics before the link becomes operational, which is useful for outdoor cabinets in Arctic or high-altitude installations.

Q: What is the significance of the limiting electrical interface receiver?
A: The limiting electrical interface means this transceiver performs clock and data recovery internally and outputs a clean retimed signal to the host. It does not require an electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) PHY on the host board, unlike some long-reach optics. This simplifies integration into industrial switches and routers that may lack advanced SerDes equalization, and ensures compatibility across a wider range of SFP+ host platforms without platform-specific signal conditioning.
