Is XFP-10G-MM-SR capable of communicating with SFP-10G-SR module? 

[TechDude]

Anyone have an answer to this one?

Hello Ethan,

Yes, you may conect a trasceiver XFP-10G-MM-SR in one side with a SFP-10G-SR in the other side. Both of them have the same specifications related to kind of fiber and speed, not sure about the maximum reach.

Regards.

Richard.

Hi richbarb

Thanks for clearing the above question as I too was two-minded about the compatibility. I have another question I need to clear from my mind , does the XFP-10G-MM-SR support regular LC fiber patch cord? I will be connecting from "XFP-10G-MM-SR" to "SFP-10G-SR" . Please recommend a patch cord for this connection?

Hi,

1) Yes.

2) You can use any multimode fiber cord (this impacts in the distance and transmission quality), preference use the OM4.

Regards.

thanks richbarb

I will only be using it with distance less than 10m so multimode should be suffice.
