What is 10G-SFP-ZR Module?
10G-SFP-ZR is a kind of optical module that supports 10Gbps rate and transmission distance of 80KM, which can send data to you from 80KM away, and the delay of data transmission is almost negligible in the process.
Core Function of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module
The core function of sfp 10g zr optical module is to convert electrical and optical signals to each other, and achieve ultra-long-distance data transmission through optical fibre. On the sending side, 10G-SFP-ZR optical module converts the electrical signal into optical signal and sends it to the optical fibre, and on the receiving side, 10G-SFP-ZR optical module receives the optical signal from the optical fibre and converts it into electrical signal, and in this way, the data passes through the long-distance optical fibre, and is safely delivered to the users.
What is the Appearance and Optical Interface of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module?
10G-SFP-ZR optical module package follows the SFP-MSA protocol, which has the advantages of small size, easy to install, easy to maintain, and has good compatibility with SFP+ ports of almost all devices on the market.
Because of the need to take into account the small size, connectivity and transmission stability, the 10G-SFP-ZR optical module adopts a duplex LC optical interface, which supports hot-swapping and has a nerd-proof design, with bumps and corresponding grooves on the plug to prevent insertion reversal from affecting the normal operation of the module.
Key Technical Parameters of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module
Wavelength Selection of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module
Because the transmission distance of 10G-SFP-ZR sfp module is 80KM, which belongs to the ultra-long-distance transmission, and the influence of the fibre-optic link loss will become very big in this ultra-long-distance condition, so almost all vendors choose 1550 nm as the working wavelength of 10G-SFP-ZR sfp module to provide a lower link transmission loss, so almost all vendors choose 1550 nm as the operating wavelength of 10G-SFP-ZR optical module to provide a lower link transmission loss. SFP-ZR optical modules to provide lower link loss.
Transmission Distance of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module
10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module is designed for ultra-long-distance transmission, and its standard transmission distance is 80KM, which is equivalent to the straight-line distance from Beijing to Tianjin, and there is no need for relay amplification in the transmission, which reduces the cost of construction, and it is the first choice of a small number of services for long-distance transmission at present.
The Power Consumption of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module
The power consumption of regular 10G LR 10KM module is about 1W, while 10g sfp zr optical module needs to use TEC to cool down the laser, help stabilise the wavelength of light emitted by the laser and ensure the stability of the transmission because of the longer transmission distance and the greater optical power, which all need to be supported by a larger power consumption, so its power consumption comes to 1.8W. The greater power consumption has led to the 10G-SFP-ZR module in the beginning of the birth of few devices can provide such power supply for its work, of course, nowadays the switch basically support 10G-SFP-ZR module.
Compatibility of 10G-SFP-ZR Optical Module with Various Brands of Switches
In terms of hardware, the parameters of 10G-SFP-ZR sfp module are defined by the SFF-8472 protocol, and each manufacturer produces its own optical module according to the SFF-8472 protocol, and each equipment manufacturer also adapts its own equipment to 10G-SFP-ZR optical module according to the SFF-8472 protocol. SFP-ZR optical modules, so at the hardware level, 10G-SFP-ZR optical modules are compatible with the equipment of various vendors.
However, at the software level, most of the head switch vendors have set compatibility requirements in their own switch systems. 10G-SFP-ZR optical modules that are not their own products and do not meet the compatibility requirements will be prohibited by the system to work properly on the switch, such as Cisco, Arista, HP, etc. These compatibility requirements have led to high prices of the original optical modules, which are ‘abhorred’ by a lot of network operating companies. Many network operators ‘abhor’ this, but the original module performance, adaptability and compatibility are the best, which makes the original optical module has become a network setup can not bypass the problem. LSOLINK can provide a variety of brands, such as Cisco, HP, Dell, Fortinet and other head of the manufacturer’s adapted optical module, can ensure full compatibility with these brands of optical modules, and can guarantee that the full compatibility of these brands of optical modules. LSOLINK can provide various brands of optical modules, such as Cisco, HP, Dell, Fortinet and other leading manufacturers, to ensure full compatibility with these brands of equipment, to provide comparable to the performance of the original module and the use of experience.
