Case Study: cisco 10GB SFP+ SR Transceiver price

Let’s apply this model to the cost of optic transceivers. There are only so many transceiver companies with the manufacturing, engineering, and quality control to make the world go round: Avago, Finisar, and Lumentum (formerly JDSU). So when a networking company is trying to sell you an optic, it’s typically one of these three.

Let’s dissect the Cisco 10GB SFP+ SR transceiver module, which lists for $1000 (I’m sorry, $995).

Cisco doesn’t make cables or optics, so they go to the people who do. Instead of relying on one ODM, they use two, and another two for their telco line, for price guarantees and supply assurances. So how much does a 10GB SFP+ SR optic cost? It turns out around $85 + some margin, bringing the cost to $95.

However, Cisco doesn’t want some ODM’s name on the part. They want the Cisco logo on the part, along with the Cisco logo on the end cap, some branding on the ESD wrapper, tissue paper, stickers, etc….(ok, ok, no tissue paper or stickers, but you get my point).

This re-branding now brings the part to over $600. Bring in the distributors: $800. And now, the resellers: $1000. Meaning, if Cisco sells this part at MSRP, it makes $500 in profit on a $100 part.

Differences between cisco GLC-T and cisco GLC-TE

 Cisco GLC-T, GLC-TE and SFP-GE-T optical modules are all Gigabit port optical modules with RJ45 interface and 100m transmission distance. They are cost-saving solutions for Gigabit Ethernet connection in data center, access network and storage area network applications. Therefore, these three types of optical modules are often difficult to distinguish. In fact, the transmission effect of these three optical modules is the same, which optical module can achieve Gigabit transmission, but it is certainly noteworthy that the original Cisco GLC-T and SPF-GE-T optical modules were terminated on June 1, 2017 and replaced by GLC-TE optical module. SFP-GE-T optical module with NEBS 3 ESD function needs to be selected if it is traded directly with the telecommunications company (which requires NEBS).The price of GLC-T and GLC-TE optical modules is low, and they can also meet the needs of Gigabit Ethernet. The Cisco Gigabit optical modules provided by Easy Communications can meet a large number

Why the sfp transceiver not work

 The failure of the sfp optical module is divided into the failure of the transmitter and the failure of the receiver. Through the analysis of the main causes of the phenomenon, the most likely problems are mainly concentrated in the following aspects: The optical port of the  1000base SFP transceiver  is contaminated and damaged Because of the pollution and damage of the optical interface of the module, the loss of the optical link is increased, so that the optical fiber link is unreachable. The main reasons for this phenomenon are the following four points: 1. The optical port of the SFP optical module has been exposed to the environment for a long time, resulting in contamination and contamination of the SFP optical port; 2. The end face of the fiber jumper connected to the  Cisco SFP-10g-sr  optical module has been contaminated, and the SFP optical port provides been contaminated; 3. Improper operation of the end face of the optical connector with pigtails, scratching of the finish
