Overview
The XENPAK-10GB-SR, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-factor Pluggable with Reach Extender, is an optical transceiver built for short-distance data transmission within data centers or enterprise buildings. It supports high-speed data rates of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) but has a limited reach of up to 300 meters on multimode fiber optic cables. This makes it ideal for applications where long distances aren’t required, like connecting switches and servers within a data center or across a building. XENPAK-10GB-SRs utilize a common SC connector and operate at a wavelength of 850 nanometers, making them well-suited for shorter distances on multimode fiber. They are a cost-effective solution due to their simpler design and are hot-swappable for easy maintenance. While originally developed by Cisco, many third-party manufacturers offer compatible XENPAK-10GB-SRs at lower costs, but ensure compatibility with your equipment before purchasing.
