10GBASE-SR Optical Technology

10GBASE-SR is a short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical standard designed primarily for multimode fiber. The Meraki MA-SFP-10GB-SR operates at 850nm and is optimized for high-bandwidth connections inside data centers, server rooms and enterprise network environments.

The actual supported distance depends on the multimode fiber grade. Meraki specifies 26m on OM1, 82m on OM2, 300m on OM3 and 400m on OM4. Meraki official distance specifications

Multimode Fiber Support

The MA-SFP-10GB-SR is specifically designed for multimode fiber (MMF). It should not be confused with Meraki's MA-SFP-10GB-LR, which is designed for single-mode fiber.

For new 10GbE installations requiring longer multimode-fiber reach, OM4 is generally preferred because it provides the highest specified reach for this Meraki SR module.

850nm Optical Wavelength

The MA-SFP-10GB-SR operates at 850nm, a wavelength commonly used for short-range multimode-fiber Ethernet applications.

The 850nm optical design works with VCSEL-based short-range fiber technology and is well suited to high-density data center and enterprise networking applications.

Duplex LC Connector

The Meraki MA-SFP-10GB-SR uses a duplex LC optical interface. One fiber carries the transmit signal while the other carries the receive signal.

Duplex LC is widely used in structured multimode fiber cabling, making the transceiver suitable for standard LC patch panels and fiber distribution systems.

400m OM4 Reach

When used with compatible OM4 multimode fiber, the MA-SFP-10GB-SR supports a maximum distance of 400 meters.

This makes it useful for larger data center halls, campus buildings, enterprise distribution networks and longer switch-to-switch 10GbE connections where multimode infrastructure is already deployed.

For distances approaching the maximum specification, the complete optical link should be checked for connector losses, fiber attenuation and other optical-budget considerations.

Meraki Platform Compatibility

Cisco Meraki's official transceiver documentation lists MA-SFP-10GB-SR compatibility across a wide range of Meraki MX and MS platforms. Listed compatible equipment includes MX95/MX105, MX250/MX400/MX450/MX600, MS125, MS130-X, MS150-4X, MS225, MS250, MS350, MS355, MS390, MS410 and MS425. It is also supported on compatible Catalyst 9300-M platforms. Meraki compatibility list

Compatibility can vary by platform and port configuration, so the exact Meraki device should be checked before procurement.

Meraki MA-SFP-10GB-SR vs MA-SFP-10GB-LR

Meraki officially specifies the SR for multimode fiber up to 400m and the LR for single-mode fiber up to 10km. Meraki SFP specifications

Meraki MA-SFP-10GB-SR vs MA-SFP-10GB-LRM

LRM is useful where extended-reach 10GbE connectivity is needed over certain legacy multimode fiber types, while SR provides the higher maximum reach of 400m on OM4.
