FAQ
What is the maximum transmission distance supported by this XFP transceiver?
The Axiom XFP-10GZR-OC192LR-AX supports the 10GBASE-ZR standard, which is designed for very long reach over single-mode fiber. While exact distance depends on fiber quality and network conditions, 10GBASE-ZR typically enables transmissions of up to 80 kilometers or more, making it suitable for extended metropolitan and wide-area network links.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Cisco networking equipment?
This transceiver is specifically validated for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and is MSA compliant. While it may work in other devices with XFP slots that support 10GBASE-ZR, compatibility is not guaranteed outside Cisco hardware. Always verify with the equipment manufacturer before deployment in non-Cisco systems.
What type of fiber optic cable should I use with this transceiver?
This transceiver requires single-mode fiber optic cables with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber is essential for achieving the long-distance capabilities of the 10GBASE-ZR standard. Ensure cables meet industry standards for 10 Gbps transmission to maintain signal integrity and performance over extended runs.
Can this transceiver be hot-swapped during operation?
Yes, the XFP form factor supports hot-swapping, allowing you to insert or remove the transceiver without powering down the networking equipment. This feature facilitates maintenance and upgrades with minimal network downtime, but always follow proper procedures to avoid data disruption or hardware damage.
