Product Overview
The Cisco 50GBASE SFP56 (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) portfolio offers customers a wide variety of highdensity and low-power 50G and 25G Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center and highperformance computing network applications. The 50G Modules are based on SFP56 form
Features and benefits of Cisco 50G Modules
Cisco SFP-50G copper cables
Cisco SFP56 to SFP56 copper direct-attach 25/50GBASE-CR1 cables are suitable for very short links and offer a highly cost-effective way to establish a 25 and 50 Gigabit link between SFP56 ports found switches, routers, or other platforms within a rack and across adjacent racks. Cisco offers passive copper cables in lengths of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 meters.
Cisco SFP-50G-SL
Cisco SFP-50G-SL Short Link Modules are a replacement for traditional AOCs (Active Optical Cables). They are suitable for very short distances and offer a cost-effective way to connect within a rack and across adjacent racks at up to 30 meters.
P 20/30/30 m on OM3/4/5 with KR1-FEC,
P 10/16/16 m on OM3/4/5 with FC-FEC, and
P 7/10/10 m on OM3/4/5 with No-FEC.
Cisco SFP-50G-SR-S
P 70/100/100 m on OM3/4/5 MMF with KR1-FEC,
P 10/16/16 m on OM3/4/5 MMF with FC-FEC, and
P 7/10/10 m on OM3/4/5 MMF with No-FEC.
Cisco SFP-50G-LR-S
The Cisco SFP-50G-LR-S Module supports a link length of 10/15 km on standard Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) G.652 at both 25G and 50G.
