We program this SFP-25G-SR with Cisco coding before shipping, at no extra cost. Your Cisco equipment (Catalyst, Nexus, ISR, ASR) then sees it as its own optic, just like a SFP-25G-SR-S. Optically it's the same SFP28 transceiver: 25GBASE-SR, up to 100 m over OM4.
Cisco IOS, IOS-XE and NX-OS read the module's vendor ID and checksum on insertion. Without Cisco coding you usually get an 'unsupported transceiver' message and the port goes err-disabled; 'service unsupported-transceiver' is a hidden, unsupported command. With Cisco coding the switch recognises the module as a Cisco optic and that command isn't needed.
Replaces these Cisco part numbers Need another coding or generic (MSA)? All specs and codings are on SFP-25G-SR transceiver
Compatible means: the same optical specs and Cisco coding, not an original Cisco product. Brand and part names belong to their owners and are shown for comparison.
The SFP-25G-SR is an SFP28 transceiver for 25GBASE-SR: 25 Gb/s over multimode fiber (OM4) up to 100 m, at 850 nm, with LC duplex connector and DOM/DDM monitoring. Available generic (MSA) or pre-coded for 21 vendors, including Cisco, Juniper and Brocade: pick your equipment's vendor under Coding and we code it before shipping, at no extra cost. Tested, with test report and lifetime warranty.
