Cisco 10GBASE Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing SFP+ Modules
Use Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) SFP+ modules to integrate WDM transport directly into your Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers.
The Cisco 10GBASE DWDM SFP+ Modules (Figure 1) are fiber transceivers for a wide variety of Cisco switches, routers, and other equipment. They allow enterprises and service providers to provide scalable and easy-to-deploy 10-Gbps LAN and WAN services in their networks.
The Cisco 10GBASE Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing SFP+ Modules offer the following features and benefits:
● Smallest SFP+ module footprint in the industry
● Hot-swappable input/output device plugs into an Ethernet SFP+ port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network
● Support for a “pay-as-you-grow” model for investment protection
● Digital optical monitoring capability for enhanced diagnostics and troubleshooting
● Supports the Cisco Quality Identification (ID) feature, which enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether or not the module is an SFP+ module certified and tested by Cisco
Cisco DWDM-SFP10G-XX.XX modules
The Cisco DWDM-SFP10G-XX.XX suite of fixed wavelength, linear electrical interface, transceiver modules supports OTN data rates.
● Supports 10-Gigabit data rates from 9.9G to 11.1G (LAN, WAN, and OTU2/OTU2e) to accommodate different applications
● DWDM fixed module supports 40 non-tunable ITU 100-GHz wavelengths detailed in Table 5
The Cisco DWDM-SFP10G-C tunable transceiver module supports OTN data rates. The DWDM-SFP10G-C has a linear electrical interface receiver that requires EDC (Electronic Dispersion Compensation) PHY on the host board.
● Supports 10-Gigabit data rates from 9.9G to 11.1G (LAN, WAN, and OTU2/OTU2e) to accommodate different applications
● DWDM tunable module supports 96 tunable ITU 50-GHz wavelengths
● 80km reach assuming fiber chromatic dispersion of 20 ps/(nm*km)
● Tunability enables minimized inventory and simplified, rapid deployment
The Cisco DWDM-SFP10G-C-S tunable transceiver modules is Ethernet only. The DWDM-SFP10G-C-S has a limiting electrical interface receiver, which does not require EDC PHY on the host board. The DWDM-SFP10G-C-S can be plugged into any SFP+ port.
● DWDM tunable module supports 96 tunable ITU 50-GHz wavelengths
● Reach of 70 km, assuming fiber chromatic dispersion of 20 ps/(nm*km)
● Tunability enables minimized inventory and simplified, rapid deployment
The Cisco DWDM SFP+ modules are supported across a variety of Cisco switches, routers, and optical transport devices. For more details, refer to the Cisco transceivers compatibility matrix at: https://tmgmatrix.cisco.com/home
Connectors and cabling
● Equipment: standard SFP+ interface
● Network: dual LC/PC connector
Note: Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified in the standards section.
