Distances Supported by the Long Reach and Short Reach Transceivers
|
|---|
|
Short Reach (SR) Transceiver
|
Short reach transceiver typically supports up to:
- 33 m with OM1 MMF (Multi Mode Fiber using 850nm) cable
- 50 m with OM2 MMF cable
- 300 m with OM3 MMF cable
* Actual distance supported by the Transceiver is dependent on the quality of the fiber used.
|
|
|
Long Reach (LR) Transceiver
|
Long reach transceiver needs to use SMF (Single Mode Fiber using 1310nm) Cable and can support longer distances beyond 300 m and up to 10km
* Actual distance supported by the Transceiver is dependent on the quality of the fiber used.

Xenpak and X2
|
Fiber cable with SC connector plugs into these transceivers
* Server NICs and Switch Ports with different form factors of transceivers can be connected by choosing the correct connectors for the fiber cable. Fiber cable with LC and LC connectors can connect XFP transceiver with SFP/SFP+ Transceiver. Fiber cable with LC and SC connectors can connect a) XFP,SFP/SFP+ transceiver with b) Xenpak, X2 transceiver
