About This Product
Overview
The Cisco SFP-10G-SR is one of the most widely deployed optics in enterprise and data centre networks. This 10GBASE-SR transceiver in the SFP+ form factor carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fibre using an 850nm laser and a duplex LC connector. This example is Cisco part number 10-2415-03 at hardware revision V03, the identifiers printed on the module label and reported by the host when the optic is queried. For anyone maintaining a Cisco estate, it is a standard part to keep on hand for new uplinks, replacement of failed optics or expanding 10GbE capacity on an existing switch.
Since the module is a genuine Cisco optic, Cisco host software recognises it as an SFP-10G-SR. That matters on platforms that check transceiver identity, and it keeps inventory reports and monitoring output consistent with the rest of a Cisco-built network.
Reach and Fibre Planning
Distance is the main consideration when choosing a short-reach optic, and the SFP-10G-SR covers a wide range of installed fibre. On laser-optimised OM4 multimode it supports runs of up to 400 metres. On OM3, still the most common grade in many data centres, the limit is 300 metres. Older plants are also catered for: OM2 supports up to 82 metres and OM1 up to 33 metres. Those figures make it practical to reuse existing multimode cabling when moving from Gigabit to 10GbE, as long as the run length fits the grade of fibre in the walls.
Both ends of a 10GBASE-SR link need matching SR optics, and the duplex LC interface uses separate transmit and receive fibres. Patch cords should be multimode and suited to the fibre grade in use. Mixing in single-mode cabling will not give a working link at the rated distances.
Deployment Scenarios
In a campus network the SFP-10G-SR commonly links access switches to the distribution layer. A Catalyst 3850 fitted with a C3850-NM-2-10G or C3850-NM-4-10G uplink module is a typical example. In the data centre the same optic serves top-of-rack to aggregation links, connections to 10GbE server NICs and storage arrays, and short inter-row runs where OM3 or OM4 trunks are already in place. Its hot-swappable design means a failed or upgraded optic can be changed in a live port without taking down the rest of the switch.
Digital optical monitoring adds operational value on compatible hosts. Engineers can read transmit power, receive power and module temperature from the switch, which helps when isolating a dirty connector, a damaged patch lead or a marginal long run. The rated operating range of 0°C to 70°C suits typical equipment rooms, wiring closets and data halls.
Why Choose This Transceiver?
The SFP-10G-SR is a sensible choice where a network already runs on Cisco hardware and multimode fibre. One part number covers everything from a short in-rack patch to a 400-metre OM4 backbone, which simplifies spares holding and reduces the number of optic types engineers have to track. The LC duplex interface fits standard patch panels, and the SFP+ form factor fits the 10G ports found across a broad range of Cisco switching and routing platforms.
For teams standardising their optics, adding uplink capacity or replacing failed modules, this genuine Cisco 10-2415-03 V03 transceiver offers predictable behaviour in Cisco hosts. Before deployment, confirm the exact host model, port type and software version against Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix.
About this module
Cisco SFP-10G-SR 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, part 10-2415-03 revision V03, for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fibre. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
This is a refurbished Cisco SFP-10G-SR, the 10GBASE-SR short-reach optic in the SFP+ form factor. It carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fibre using an 850 nm laser and a duplex LC connector. This unit is Cisco part number 10-2415-03 at hardware revision V03. Both identifiers are printed on the module label and reported by the host when the optic is queried. Because it is a genuine Cisco optic, Cisco switches recognise it as an SFP-10G-SR, which matters on platforms that check transceiver identity.
Network teams in Doha and across Qatar buy it for access-to-distribution uplinks, top-of-rack to aggregation links, and 10GbE connections to servers and storage. One part number covers runs from an in-rack patch to a 400 metre OM4 backbone. That keeps spares holding simple, and it lets existing multimode cabling carry 10GbE when the run length suits the fibre grade.

Specification
The SFP-10G-SR is a 10GBASE-SR optic for multimode fibre only. Digital optical monitoring lets a compatible host report transmit power, receive power and module temperature, which helps when isolating a dirty connector or a marginal run.
| Form factor | SFP+, hot-swappable |
| Ethernet standard | 10GBASE-SR |
| Data rate | 10 Gbps |
| Wavelength | 850 nm |
| Connector | Duplex LC |
| Fibre type | Multimode (MMF) |
| Digital optical monitoring | Supported on compatible host equipment |
| Operating temperature | 0 to 70 °C |
Reach by fibre grade
Maximum distance depends on the grade of multimode fibre installed. Check the grade in the walls before planning a run, and move to a single-mode optic such as 10GBASE-LR for anything beyond 400 metres.
| Fibre grade | Maximum reach |
|---|---|
| OM4 | 400 m |
| OM3 | 300 m |
| OM2 | 82 m |
| OM1 | 33 m |
Part numbers and identification
SFP-10G-SR is the Cisco product ID used for ordering and compatibility checks. The 10-2415-03 part number and V03 revision appear on the module label and in the host's inventory output, which helps with asset audits.
| Cisco product ID | SFP-10G-SR |

| Hardware revision | V03 |
| Ethernet standard | 10GBASE-SR |
| Serverdove SKU | SD-SFP-CISCO-10GSR-V03 |
Installation
The module is hot-swappable, so it can be inserted into or removed from a live SFP+ port without shutting down the switch. Only the link on that port drops during the swap. Slide the module in until it latches, remove the dust plug, and connect a multimode LC patch cord matched to the installed fibre grade. Both ends of a 10GBASE-SR link need SR optics, and single-mode cabling will not give a working link at the rated distances.
Clean the LC connectors before mating, and keep the dust plug fitted whenever the module is out of a port. On a Catalyst 3850, the optic needs a 10G uplink port such as those on the C3850-NM-2-10G or C3850-NM-4-10G network module, because lower-speed uplink modules do not provide 10G SFP+ ports. After installation, use the switch CLI to confirm the optic is recognised and that the transmit and receive power levels are within range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum distance of the Cisco SFP-10G-SR?
Reach depends on the multimode fibre grade. The SFP-10G-SR supports up to 400 metres on OM4, 300 metres on OM3, 82 metres on OM2 and 33 metres on OM1. For runs longer than 400 metres, or where only single-mode fibre is available, you need a different optic type, such as a long-reach 10GBASE-LR module, rather than this short-reach multimode transceiver.
Does the SFP-10G-SR work with single-mode fibre?
No. The SFP-10G-SR is a 10GBASE-SR optic designed for multimode fibre at 850nm. It should be used with multimode cabling (OM1, OM2, OM3 or OM4) and multimode LC patch cords. Single-mode fibre links call for a single-mode optic, and both ends of any 10GBASE-SR link should use matching SR transceivers to establish a working connection.
Will this transceiver work in a Cisco Catalyst 3850?
On the Catalyst 3850, the SFP-10G-SR needs a supported 10G port, such as those provided by the C3850-NM-2-10G or C3850-NM-4-10G uplink network modules. Lower-speed uplink modules do not provide 10G SFP+ ports. Check your switch model, network module and IOS-XE version against Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix before installing.
What connector does the SFP-10G-SR use?
The module uses a duplex LC connector, with one fibre for transmit and one for receive. This is the standard termination for most data centre and campus structured cabling. Connect it with a multimode LC-to-LC patch cord, or an LC-to-SC cord if your patch panel uses SC, matched to the fibre grade installed in your network.
What do part number 10-2415-03 and V03 mean?
SFP-10G-SR is the Cisco product ID used for ordering and compatibility. The 10-2415-03 is Cisco's internal part number printed on the module label, and V03 is the hardware revision. These identifiers are reported by Cisco host software when you query the transceiver, which helps with asset tracking, inventory audits and matching optics across a network.
Does the SFP-10G-SR support digital optical monitoring?
Yes, digital optical monitoring is supported on compatible host equipment. On supported Cisco switches and routers, administrators can view real-time values such as transmit optical power, receive optical power and module temperature from the command line. This makes it easier to diagnose problems like dirty connectors, damaged patch leads or long runs that are close to the optical power limits.
Can the module be replaced without powering down the switch?
Yes. The SFP-10G-SR uses the hot-swappable SFP+ form factor, so it can be inserted into or removed from a live port without shutting down the host. Only the link on that port is interrupted during the swap. As with any optic, keep dust caps fitted when it is not in use and clean the LC connectors before connecting fibre.
