SFP-50G-SL Overview
The Cisco SFP-50G-SL is a 50GBASE short link pluggable optics module designed for high-speed 25Gbps or 50Gbps connectivity over multimode fiber. This cost-effective transceiver offers a drop-in upgrade from 10G or 25G ports to 50G ports with lengths up to 30m over OM3/4/5 fiber.
The SFP-50G-SL module can be installed in Cisco switches and routers equipped with SFP56 ports. It utilizes 850nm VCSEL technology to deliver 50GBASE-SR signal integrity while drawing low power consumption under 1.2W.
With support for link lengths from 10m to 30m, this module delivers exceptional flexibility for 50G and 25G connectivity between racks and across top-of-rack deployments. The SFP-50G-SL simplifies migration from 25G to 50G networks without a costly rip-and-replace overhaul.
