Q&A
What is a ZR-class 10G SFP+ transceiver used for? ⌄
ZR-class 10G SFP+ transceivers are designed for long-distance 10GbE optical links over single-mode fiber. The exact supported reach depends on the selected model.
How do I choose between 80km, 100km, and 120km ZR SFP+ models? ⌄
Select the model according to the required link distance and optical link budget. Check the Reach and optical specifications of the exact product before ordering.
What fiber type should I use with a ZR SFP+ transceiver? ⌄
ZR-class SFP+ transceivers are designed for single-mode fiber links. Check the exact product specifications for the required connector and optical parameters.
Can a ZR SFP+ transceiver be used for short-distance links? ⌄
Check the optical power budget and receiver overload specifications before using a long-reach ZR transceiver on a short link. Optical attenuation may be required depending on the model and link conditions.
What parameters must match at both ends of a ZR optical link? ⌄
Both ends should use compatible data rates, wavelengths, fiber types, connector interfaces, and optical power budgets. Host-device compatibility and transceiver coding should also be verified.
