The Cisco XFP-10GZR-OC192LR is a high-performance, multi-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP transceiver module designed for long-reach applications in service provider and enterprise networks. It supports 10GBASE-ZR and 10GBASE-ZW Ethernet standards as well as OC-192/STM-64 long-reach connectivity, enabling seamless migration from legacy TDM/SONET/SDH to packet-based networks using Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) with dual LC connectors. This module delivers robust optical transport for converged services including Carrier Ethernet, Circuit Emulation (CEM), and MPLS/FlexLSP over redundant packet networks.
Key Features
Applications and Benefits
Cisco ASR 900 Series interface modules with the XFP-10GZR-OC192LR provide cost-effective delivery of Circuit Emulation (CEM) and Carrier Ethernet capabilities over protected MPLS/FlexLSP networks. It overcomes legacy PDH/SONET/SDH limitations, enabling metro Carrier Ethernet aggregation with Layer 2/3 VPNs, IP/MPLS transport, and multicast services. Industry-leading CEM technology ensures any-to-any connectivity using TDM, PDH, SONET/SDH, and Ethernet interfaces. Next-generation features include Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3), Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS), and MPLS FlexLSP for sub-50 ms resiliency, fault propagation, and SDN programmability. Comprehensive end-to-end management via Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPN-M) supports automated operations, fast provisioning, and proactive assurance.
This transceiver is integral to Ethernet interface modules like the 1-Port 10GE XFP Module and 2-Port 10GE XFP/SFP+ Module, offering high flexibility and value in access aggregation. It supports speeds up to 100 Gbps across copper/fiber Ethernet and legacy nxDS0 to OC-192/STM-64 interfaces, with OTN wrapping. All modules share core capabilities for precise Y.1731 OAM and IEEE 1588-2008 synchronization, ensuring outstanding performance in frequency and phase synchronization deployments.
Deployment Flexibility
The XFP-10GZR-OC192LR integrates into Cisco ASR 900 Series platforms for TDM/SONET/SDH migration to modern packet-optical metro networks. It enables service providers to deliver advanced L2VPN, L3VPN, and multicast over redundant fabrics, with carrier-class CEM for TDM/Packet interworking. Supported in various slots depending on RSP version, with specific IOS XE release requirements for optimal performance.
