SFP OC48 LR2= OC 48/STM 16 2.488 Gbps SFP Transceiver with DOM and
80 km Reach
Product Overview
The Cisco SFP‑OC48‑LR2 is a long‑reach Small Form‑Factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver designed for Packet‑Over‑SONET (POS), SDH, ATM,
and optical networking applications. It supports OC-48/STM-16 data
rates up to 2.488 Gbps over single-mode fiber, reaching distances
up to 80 km, and includes digital diagnostic monitoring for
real-time module status.
