About the Cisco CVR-X2-SFP Cisco SFP/SFP+/QSFP/XFP transceiver
Designed for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series switches equipped with X2-capable line cards, the Cisco CVR-X2-SFP transceiver adapter enables cost-effective migration and multi-speed flexibility within enterprise data center and campus backbone infrastructures. This passive converter module bridges X2 host slots to industry-standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers, allowing network engineers and IT procurement teams to extend platform lifespan without wholesale hardware replacement.
The CVR-X2-SFP (Manufacturer Part Number: CVR-X2-SFP) operates as a transceiver adapter that converts the X2 host interface to accept SFP or SFP+ client modules. It supports data rates of 1 Gbps when populated with SFP transceivers and 10 Gbps when used with SFP+ transceivers, accommodating standards including 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-SR/LR/ER/ZR variants depending on the inserted optic. As a passive module with no active signal processing components, it introduces minimal latency and power consumption while passing Cisco IOS firmware integrity and transceiver identification checks. Digital Optical Monitoring capability is determined by the specific SFP or SFP+ transceiver inserted. Cisco Systems manufactures this genuine Cisco product, ensuring TAC Support eligibility and full compatibility with supported Cisco IOS and IOS-XE releases on compatible platforms.
