The Cisco 10GBASE-LRM Module supports link lengths of 220m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met over FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. No mode conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3.

The Cisco SFP-10G-LRM= is a hot-swappable SFP+ transceiver for 10GbE fiber links, with a duplex LC/PC connector and 1310nm wavelength; it suits network teams connecting equipment that supports 10GBase-LRM SFP+ modules.
Recommended For
- Network teams upgrading a short campus or building link to 10GbE while reusing existing legacy multimode fiber; Cisco specifies up to 220 m on FDDI-grade multimode fiber and recommends a mode-conditioning patch cord for FDDI, OM1, and OM2.
- Cisco network administrators connecting compatible SFP+ switch ports over short multimode runs who need a 10GbE optic intended for existing fiber rather than a new cabling installation.
- Teams with a short standard single-mode fiber connection—up to 300 m per Cisco’s specification—that want to use this LRM transceiver at both ends of the link.
- Technicians assessing whether documented older multimode-fiber runs can be retained for a 10GbE upgrade, provided the fiber type, link length, patching, and switch compatibility are checked before deployment.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When upgrading an older building or campus network, use a pair of SFP-10G-LRM modules to keep a compatible existing multimode-fiber link between switch closets. This can provide a 10GbE connection without replacing the fiber, as long as the span and fiber type are within range; legacy FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 links require mode-conditioning patch cords at both ends.
- For a short inter-switch link between network closets, use LRM when the installed multimode fiber is suitable but a typical short-reach optic does not meet the span’s requirements. The likely result is a 10GbE fiber uplink, subject to the fiber’s grade, measured link condition, and supported reach.
- During a staged network refresh, use LRM on compatible SFP+ equipment to raise an existing multimode-fiber connection from 1GbE to 10GbE before budgeting for a full cabling replacement. This is most practical when the installed fiber’s type and length meet Cisco’s specifications.
- For a short link over single-mode fiber between compatible SFP+ ports, LRM can also be an option when the connection is within its specified single-mode reach. Confirm the equipment supports the module and check the link budget before deployment.
