Cisco DPX20/X10 4x10G-BP LR NIC Module, 5-Year | Network Adapter — RD21-4X10GBPLR-5Y

Keep DPX20/X10 systems connected with a pluggable 4 x 10 GbE NIC module designed for long-reach fiber deployments. This Cisco module is built for environments where stable, high-bandwidth links matter more than commodity connectivity — aggregation points, storage adjacency, and distributed rack layouts that need predictable performance across distance. The LR variant is the right fit when your network design calls for longer optical reach without changing the platform footprint. Its pluggable format simplifies integration into supported DPX20/X10 hardware, helping teams maintain consistent port density while aligning with existing fiber infrastructure. That makes it a practical choice for refresh projects, expansion nodes, and environments where cabling distance can’t be compromised. The 5-year coverage adds procurement clarity for organizations that plan around longer refresh cycles and want to reduce support fragmentation across deployed assets. For teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this module offers a focused way to extend connectivity without overbuying capacity or adding unnecessary complexity.
