Recommended SFP+/Module for an ASR1002X and migration to dark fiber

[anthony.wathen1]

Currently, we are using  SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 with 10GB-SR/SW for the optic. We will be moving to dark fiber soon and I need to find an optic and module that will support a Cisco SFP-10Gb-ZR or something between 40km-80km of reach. Would the XFP-10GZR-OC192LR be the model I'd need?

SFP-10G-ZR is compatible to ASR 1000X.  Read THIS.

According to the SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 data sheet, the correct transceiver is model # XFP-10GZR-OC192LR, with an 80km reach.  

If, in the future, you are planning to use multiple wavelengths per fiber, then you could also deploy a DWDM transceiver (stand-alone today) and add DWDM multiplexers at each end of the link when additional bandwidth is required. 

Good luck!
