FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP+ transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode fiber, which is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to carry data over extended distances, making it suitable for campus networks, data center interconnects, and metropolitan area networks where transmission distances exceed multimode fiber capabilities.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco networking equipment?
Yes, the CWDM-SFP10G-1550-AX is designed for Cisco compatibility and is MSA compliant. MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance ensures that the transceiver meets industry standards for interoperability, allowing it to work with Cisco switches and routers that support SFP+ modules. This provides a reliable alternative to Cisco-branded transceivers for network expansion and upgrades.
What is 10GBase-CWDM technology and how does it work?
10GBase-CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a network technology that enables multiple data channels to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber strand using different wavelengths of light. This transceiver operates at 1550nm wavelength, which is one of the standard CWDM channels. CWDM technology optimizes fiber utilization by allowing multiple 10Gbps connections over the same physical fiber, reducing infrastructure costs while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
What type of connector does this transceiver use?
This transceiver uses an LC/PC duplex connector. The LC connector is a small form-factor connector commonly used in high-density networking environments, while PC (Physical Contact) refers to the polished connector endface that ensures optimal optical contact. The duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive paths for full-duplex communication over fiber optic cables.
