Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver implements the 10GBase-DWDM standard, enabling 10GbE transmission over dense wavelength division multiplexing infrastructure. It uses a single LC connector interface for bidirectional communication over single-mode optical fiber, supporting a maximum link distance of 40 kilometers. The 1537.40nm wavelength aligns with ITU-T grid spacing for predictable performance in DWDM systems.
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities allow network administrators to track real-time parameters such as optical output power, input power, temperature, and laser bias current via the host device's management interface. The hot-swappable design permits installation or replacement without powering down the switch, minimizing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this transceiver supports?
This transceiver supports link distances up to 40 kilometers over single-mode optical fiber. This reach makes it suitable for metropolitan-area network connections between data centers, campus buildings, or service provider points of presence without requiring intermediate amplification equipment.
Which Cisco switches is this transceiver compatible with?
The transceiver is specifically compatible with Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches, including models like the WS-C3850-24P. It is designed to work seamlessly with Cisco's operating system and management interfaces while providing full DOM monitoring capabilities through the switch's diagnostic tools.
What type of fiber and connector does this module require?
This transceiver requires single-mode optical fiber with LC connectors. It uses one LC port for bidirectional 10GBase-DWDM communication. Single-mode fiber provides the low attenuation necessary for the 40km reach, while LC connectors offer reliable termination with standard duplex fiber patch cables.
What is DOM monitoring and how does it work?
DOM stands for Digital Optical Monitoring, a feature that allows the transceiver to report real-time performance parameters to the host switch. This includes optical output power, received power, temperature, and laser bias current. Network administrators can access these metrics via SNMP or the switch's CLI for proactive monitoring and troubleshooting.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable design that allows installation or removal without powering down the host switch. This enables maintenance, upgrades, or replacements during normal operation with minimal network disruption. The SFP+ form factor supports this capability through standardized electrical and mechanical interfaces.
What wavelength does this transceiver operate at?
This transceiver operates at 1537.40 nanometers in the C-Band of the optical spectrum. This specific wavelength aligns with ITU-T grid spacing for DWDM systems, allowing predictable performance when used in wavelength-division multiplexing environments alongside other channels in the C-Band range.
