| 3 | Let's document our experience with regard to SFP transceivers in Ericsson RBS6000. |

||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | In general, SFP transceivers can be bought for both multimode (MM) and single-mode (SM) fibers. In cellular networks, mostly SM fibers are used, as they support longer distances (kilometers) between DU and RRU. You cannot match a MM fiber with SM transceive and vice-versa |

| 9 | h2. LC connector |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | There are LC-PC and LC-APC (angled) connectors. Tranceiver and fiber connector must match. |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | h2. Transmission speed |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | CPRI has a variety of transmission speeds, depending on the number of RF carriers and the bandwdith of those carriers. For small deployments with older RBS equipment (as discussed here), 2.5Gbps CPRI line rate is typically sufficient. |

||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | You can probably use any tranceiver supporting the respective line rate. Below are some that should work for sure: |
