FAQ
What Cisco switches is this SFP transceiver compatible with?
This Axiom transceiver is MSA compliant and specifically tested for compatibility with Cisco Catalyst 3650-48FQ and 3650-48FQM switches. The module meets mechanical, electrical, and optical specifications for plug-and-play installation in these switch models without requiring firmware updates or configuration changes.
What type of fiber does this transceiver support?
The DWDM-SFP-4931-AX supports single-mode optical fiber with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber allows data transmission over extended distances (miles) without signal degradation, making it suitable for campus networks, data center interconnects, and metropolitan area network deployments.
What network protocols does this SFP module support?
This transceiver supports both Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-DWDM) and Fiber Channel protocols. This dual-protocol support enables converged network environments where storage traffic (Fiber Channel) and data traffic (Gigabit Ethernet) can share the same fiber infrastructure, reducing cabling complexity and costs.
What is the data transfer rate of this transceiver?
The module operates at 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) using 1000BASE-DWDM technology. This provides up to 10x faster data transfer compared to standard Ethernet connections, enabling high-performance networking for data-intensive applications including video streaming, large file transfers, and database operations.
What warranty comes with this SFP transceiver?
Axiom provides a lifetime limited warranty for this transceiver. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life, offering long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure investments. The environmentally friendly design further contributes to product durability and sustainable operation.
What is dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM)?
DWDM is a technology that allows multiple data streams to travel simultaneously over a single fiber strand by using different wavelengths (colors) of light. This 1000BASE-DWDM transceiver utilizes this technology to maximize fiber utilization, enabling higher bandwidth capacity without additional physical fiber runs, which is particularly valuable in data center and telecommunications environments.
