SFP-50G-SR-S

SFP-50G-SR-S Overview: 

The Cisco SFP-50G-SR-S is a 50GBASE pluggable optical transceiver designed for seamless high-speed connectivity at 25Gbps or 50Gbps over multimode fiber (MMF). This hot-swappable SFP56 module supports link distances of up to 100 meters, making it an ideal choice for efficient 50G and 25G connections between top-of-rack switches in data centers.

Compatible with OM3, OM4, and OM5 multimode fiber, the SFP-50G-SR-S enables a cost-effective and straightforward migration from 10G or 25G networks to 50G speeds using existing MMF infrastructure. Leveraging VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) technology, this module delivers low-power, low-cost 50G connectivity while maintaining exceptional performance.

The SFP-50G-SR-S transceiver is supported by a wide range of Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches, offering backward compatibility with 10Gbps and 25Gbps ports for flexible and scalable network upgrades. This module is optimized for high-density data center environments, ensuring reliable, high-speed links for next-generation network deployments.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-speed connectivity: Supports 25G and 50G Ethernet over multimode fiber.
• Flexible network upgrades: Backward-compatible with 10G and 25G networks.
• Cost-effective migration: Utilizes existing MMF cabling (OM3/OM4/OM5).
