Product Features
Technical Overview
This CWDM SFP operates at a 1610nm wavelength, which is part of the coarse wavelength division multiplexing spectrum, allowing multiple signals to travel over a single fiber strand. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-CWDM) and Fiber Channel (1G/2G) protocols, providing flexibility for both data networking and storage applications. The module uses single-mode fiber optics, which minimizes signal attenuation and dispersion over long-haul links up to 80km, ensuring stable performance in demanding environments.
The transceiver features an LC duplex connector, which is widely adopted in fiber optic systems for its small form factor and reliable mating. It is compliant with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications, guaranteeing mechanical and electrical compatibility with Cisco and other MSA-compliant equipment. This adherence to standards reduces integration risks and supports seamless network upgrades.
Key Product Advantages
This SFP transceiver delivers significant advantages for network architects and IT managers. Its dual-protocol support allows consolidation of Ethernet and Fiber Channel traffic over the same optical infrastructure, optimizing capital expenditure and simplifying cable management. The 80km reach eliminates the need for intermediate repeaters in metropolitan area networks, reducing latency and potential points of failure.
High-Speed Data Transfer
Leveraging Fiber Channel technology, this module achieves data transfer rates that are substantially faster than standard Ethernet connections, enhancing throughput for storage and server applications.
- Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet
- Supports 1G/2G Fiber Channel and Gigabit Ethernet
Long-Distance Reliability
Single-mode fiber compatibility enables data transmission over miles without significant signal degradation, making it ideal for connecting geographically dispersed data centers or campus networks.
- 80km maximum distance
- Low attenuation over long hauls
Deployment / Use Cases
This CWDM SFP is engineered for scenarios where high bandwidth and long-distance connectivity are critical. In data center interconnects, it facilitates high-speed links between facilities, supporting disaster recovery and workload migration. For storage area networks, it provides reliable Fiber Channel connectivity for SAN switches and storage arrays, ensuring fast access to critical data.
In service provider networks, the module can be deployed in CWDM systems to increase fiber capacity by carrying multiple wavelengths, supporting broadband aggregation and backhaul applications. Its Cisco compatibility makes it a cost-effective alternative for expanding existing Cisco-based networks without vendor lock-in, suitable for enterprises upgrading to higher-speed optical backbones.
