| 10GBASE-SR is a MMF (multimode fiber) port type and uses 850 nm lasers. For longer reach, another standard defined by the IEEE 802.3ae is 10GBASE-LR. 10GBASE-LR is a SMF (single-mode fiber) port type and uses 1310 nm lasers. Traditionally, SMF 10GBASE-LR SFP+ modules are much more expensive than MMF 10GBASE-LR SFP+ modules. The historical MMF and SMF paradigm for short/long distances may change in the short term: since 2014, for new installations, especially indoors, SMF cabling costs about half as much as MMF. As a result, many new buildings and data centres are now standardising on SMF. But 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceivers are too expensive for short-reach links. A new short-reach market has been created via SMF: the industry has standardised on a new class of SMF 10G transmitters with typical 10GBASE-LR LITE SFP+ transceivers. Although not yet a standard, 10GBASE-LR LITE has a defined reach of 2 km over standard 9µm single-mode fiber. 10GBASE-LR LITE is not a replacement for 10GBASE-LR optics: it is simply a suitable alternative for SMF applications with a "shorter" reach. |
