Full Compatibility List and Supported Devices of 10G Fiber Optic Transceiver
One of the biggest advantages of our third-party optical transceiver is the strong brand compatibility,which helps enterprises cut hardware costs without sacrificing performance. Worried about compatibility? Don't be. We deliver verified results on real hardware. Video proof available upon request. Our 10G long-haul optical transceiver is fully tested and certified to work seamlessly with the following Cisco equipments:
1. Cisco Catalyst & Nexus Switches
-
Nexus Series: High-density data center switches including Nexus 9000, 7000, 5000, and 3000 series.
-
Catalyst 9000: Enterprise core switches like Catalyst 9500, 9300, and 9400.
-
Catalyst Legacy: Reliable support for Catalyst 6500/6800, 4500-X, and 3850 (with 10G uplink modules).
2. Cisco Routers & Firewalls
-
ASR Series: Carrier-grade routers such as ASR 9000, ASR 1000, and ASR 900.
-
NCS Series: Network Convergence System (NCS) 5500 and 500 platforms.
-
Cisco Firepower: High-performance security appliances (e.g., Firepower 4100, 9300).
Main Application Scenarios of SFP 10G ER
-
Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN): Connects municipal offices, regional centers, or service provider points of presence (PoPs) scattered across a city infrastructure.
-
Extended Campus Backbone Infrastructure: Interconnects core switches across highly distributed corporate or university campuses where buildings exceed standard 10km bounds.
-
Disaster Recovery & Remote Backup: Links a primary data center to a secondary warm/cold backup facility up to 40km away for synchronous data replication.
Technical Warning: When testing or deploying this 40km single mode fiber module over short distances (typically less than 20km), an optical attenuator (6dB to 9dB) must be used. Failure to attenuate the signal may cause permanent damage to the receiver due to optical overload.

FAQ FOR 10G 1550NM SFP+Transceiver Modules
Q1: Will installing HYTOPTODEVICE compatible Arista SFP-10G-ER void Arista switch warranty for users in US, UK and Europe?
A1: No. For network operators across USA, UK, Germany, Canada and all EU countries, installing HYTOPTODEVICE Arista SFP-10G-ER compatible transceiver will never void your original Arista switch warranty. Local consumer protection laws in North America, Europe and Australia ban network OEMs from invalidating hardware warranty just for deploying certified third-party compatible optical modules. As a professional optical transceiver manufacturer based in Shenzhen China, HYTOPTODEVICE strictly follows international industry specs, our plug-and-play modules need no switch firmware modification and bring zero damage risk to Arista network hardware for global clients.
Q2: What maximum transmission distance can HYTOPTODEVICE Arista SFP-10G-ER reach for long haul projects in EU and North America?
A2: HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-ER supports stable 40km (24.8mi) transmission over standard SMF, widely used in long-distance networking projects in USA, UK, Germany and Southeast Asia Singapore. Equipped with industrial-grade 1550nm long-haul laser sourced from Shenzhen factory supply chain, it offsets single-mode fiber attenuation perfectly to guarantee lossless 10G data transfer up to 40km for cross-site enterprise links in global regions.
Q3: What’s the core gap between HYTOPTODEVICE Arista SFP-10G-LR and SFP-10G-ER for American & European data center builds?
A3: The two 10G single-mode transceivers differ on wavelength, reach and regional project application:
- SFP-10G-LR: 1310nm wavelength, max 10km reach, preferred by US/UK small campus LAN and short-range data center interconnection.
- SFP-10G-ER: 1550nm high-power laser, up to 40km transmission, top pick for cross-city long haul fiber projects across Europe, Canada and Australia; HYTOPTODEVICE supplies both compatible versions directly from Shenzhen warehouse with global fast shipping.
Q4: Do customers from US and EU need optical attenuator while testing HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-ER on short fiber runs?
A4: Yes. All clients in United States, UK, Germany must add 5~10dB inline optical attenuator when running SFP-10G-ER under 15km fiber links. This ER module features high-output 1550nm laser; short cable connection without attenuator will burn switch receiving diode permanently. For links above 15km standard SMF (common in rural Canada/Australia fiber layout), no attenuator is required.
Q5: How does Shenzhen-based HYTOPTODEVICE confirm full Arista compatibility for global buyers’ SFP-10G-ER orders?
A5: Headquartered in Shenzhen China, HYTOPTODEVICE verifies every production batch on real Arista physical switches instead of virtual emulation, fitting Arista EOS firmware for customers from US, Europe and Southeast Asia. We complete full registration & traffic testing under original Arista operating system and provide real test video records per customer order to eliminate cross-region compatibility issues. All goods pass aging testing before leaving China factory warehouse.
Q6: Does this compatible module support DOM inside Arista EOS for US & European network deployments?
A6: Yes, absolutely. HYTOPTODEVICE Arista SFP-10G-ER delivers full Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) functionality for clients across USA, UK, Germany, Canada and Australia. Network engineers can check real-time operational metrics including Tx/Rx optical power, internal module temperature and supply voltage directly on Arista EOS with the CLI command show interfaces transceiver detail . Manufactured at our Shenzhen China factory, every unit is pre-calibrated to guarantee accurate DOM data reading on all mainstream Arista switch models for global projects.
Q7: What exact fiber patch cable type should international customers use with the HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-ER?
A7: Worldwide buyers from North America, EU and Southeast Asia Singapore need standard Duplex LC-to-LC Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) patch cords paired with this 10G ER transceiver. OS2 9/125µm single-mode cable is our top recommended option to cut insertion loss and signal attenuation, securing stable full-distance 40km transmission for cross-town enterprise links in US, UK and Australian long-haul fiber layouts.
Q8: Can the HYTOPTODEVICE Arista compatible 10G ER optics run at 1G speed for European and North American legacy network upgrades?
A8: No. HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-ER is fixed 10Gbps single-rate transceiver produced in Shenzhen factory, without auto-negotiation or downshift to 1Gbps. For overseas operators in EU, USA and Canada building 40km long-distance 1G fiber links, pick specialized long-range 1G transceivers like SFP-1G-EX from our stock instead.
