1. Confirm the basic link conditions first.
Suitable for 10G regional backbone, POP-to-POP and long-distance single-mode fiber links.
10G SFP+ Port
Confirm the host device supports standard 10G SFP+ interfaces.
Duplex LC SMF
Use OS2 single-mode fiber with duplex LC connectors.
Reach Up to 80km
Check fiber attenuation, optical budget and receiver power before deployment.
2. Know the module. Then check the project.
The 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ transceiver is designed for long-distance 10G transmission over single-mode fiber. It is commonly used when ER reach is not enough and an 80km-class backbone link is required.

6. Not Sure Which 10G SFP+ Fits Your Link?
Different 10G SFP+ modules solve different deployment problems. Compare reach, fiber type and application before ordering.
| 10G Option | Typical Reach | Fiber / Connector | Best Fit | Check Before Ordering |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10GBASE-SR | 300m | OM3/OM4 MMF / Duplex LC | Data center short-reach links | Fiber type, distance and switch compatibility |
| 10GBASE-LRM | 220m | Legacy MMF / Duplex LC | Existing MMF upgrade | OM1/OM2 fiber condition and distance limit |
| 10GBASE-LR | 10km | OS2 SMF / Duplex LC | Campus interconnect | Host coding, link budget and fiber route |
| 10GBASE-ER | 40km | OS2 SMF / Duplex LC | Metro links beyond standard LR distance | Optical budget, fiber attenuation and connector cleanliness |
| 10GBASE-ZR | 80km | OS2 SMF / Duplex LC | Regional backbone / POP links | Optical budget, receiver power and attenuation requirement |
Frequently Asked Questions
i. When should I choose 10G ZR instead of 10G ER?
Choose 10G ZR when the link is longer than the typical 40km ER range and requires an 80km-class single-mode fiber solution. For shorter metro links, 10G ER may be more cost-effective.
ii. Can I use 10G ZR on a shorter fiber link?
It depends on received optical power. Because ZR optics are designed for long-distance links, very short spans may require attenuation to avoid receiver overload. Always check the link budget before deployment.
iii. Where are 10G ZR modules commonly deployed?
10G ZR modules are commonly used in ISP backbone networks, POP-to-POP links, regional transport, long-distance enterprise connections and other 80km-class SMF applications.
iv. Can this 10G ZR module work with my existing switch?
Yes. Axonode can provide compatible coding for Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE and other vendor environments. Please share the exact switch model or compatibility requirement before shipment.
v. What information should I provide before ordering?
Please confirm your switch model, required compatibility, link distance, fiber type, total link loss, patch panel condition and operating environment. Axonode can help verify whether ZR is the right choice before shipment.
