Cisco Compatible X2-10GB-ZR Optical Transceiver | 10GBASE-ZR, LC Duplex, SMF (80km)
Product Overview
The Cisco Compatible X2-10GB-ZR Optical Transceiver is a high-performance 10Gbps module designed for ultra-long-distance transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF). Operating at a wavelength of 1550nm, this X2 transceiver supports transmission distances of up to 80 kilometers, making it ideal for long-haul networks, telecom infrastructure, and data center interconnection (DCI).
While 10GBASE-ZR is not part of the official IEEE 802.3ae standard, it is widely adopted in the industry for extended reach applications. This module is fully compatible with Cisco platforms and delivers reliable performance, high stability, and a cost-effective alternative to OEM optics.
