Technical Specifications
- Data Rate: Supports 1G / 10G / 25G (dual-rate/upgradeable design)
- Form Factor: SFP / SFP+ / SFP28 (the physical slot is the same, supporting the different speeds)
- Connector: Dual LC UPC
- Wavelength: 1310nm
- Distance: 10km over Single Mode Fiber (SMF)
- MTBF: Approximately 200,000 hours at 25°C
Key Use Case
This module is designed as a direct upgrade to standard 10G SFP+ modules. By adding 25G SFP28 support, it allows you to use a single module type across a mixed network of 1G, 10G, and 25G equipment, which can simplify inventory and upgrades.
Compatibility Notes
- Brand: This is a MikroTik product, not a Cisco original.
- Cisco Interoperability: It is frequently sold as "Cisco compatible," but you should verify compatibility with your specific Cisco device model and software version.
- Host Requirements: For 25G operation, the host port typically needs to support RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) for proper signal integrity, which is common on modern 25G-capable switches.
