UCS-CPU-I4410T=: Intel Xeon Scalable Processo
Hardware Specifications and Technical Capabilitie...
The Cisco SFP-OC48-IR1= is a hot-swappable, 1310nm SFP transceiver designed for OC-48/STM-16 SONET/SDH networks, delivering 2.488 Gbps data rates over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a maximum reach of 15 kilometers. Key specifications include:
The SFP-OC48-IR1= operates with multiple Cisco platforms, including:
Critical Note: When used in non-Cisco equipment, ensure host devices support SFP MSA Rev 2.0 electrical interfaces.
Telecom Backbone Modernization:
A Tier-1 European carrier replaced aging CFP modules with SFP-OC48-IR1= in ONS 15454 nodes, extending service life of existing fiber plant while reducing power consumption by 32% per link.
Transport Network Resilience:
Deployed in a 1+1 APS (Automatic Protection Switching) configuration on ASR 9912 routers, achieving <50ms failover during fiber cuts in a Middle Eastern oil refinery’s SCADA network.
Hybrid SDH/IP Networks:
A Japanese ISP uses these transceivers for VCAT/LCAS traffic grooming between SDH ADMs and Cisco NCS 4206 routers, maintaining legacy TDM services while migrating to IP/MPLS.

Q: Can this transceiver support Ethernet over SONET (EoS) applications?
Yes—when paired with Cisco’s ML-Series cards, it enables GFP-F encapsulated 1GbE transport via VCAT/LCAS.
Q: How does it compare to DWDM alternatives for capacity upgrades?
While DWDM offers higher density, the SFP-OC48-IR1= provides OPEX savings in networks with spare fiber pairs—no amplification required for ≤15km spans.
Q: What maintenance signals are monitored?
Despite the industry shift to OTN/IP, Cisco’s Extended Lifecycle Program supports this transceiver through 2030 due to demand from:
For guaranteed compatibility and firmware support, “SFP-OC48-IR1=” is available through certified channels.
Having deployed 400+ SFP-OC48-IR1= units in brownfield networks, their value lies in risk mitigation—they enable gradual migration while maintaining SLA compliance for TDM services. However, the lack of FEC limits reach compared to modern 10G ZR optics. Operators should budget for bi-annual DOM monitoring and stock critical spares; lead times for legacy SFPs now exceed 12 weeks. While not future-proof, these transceivers remain indispensable for bridging SDH and packet networks in regulated industries.
