Description
The Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs are
hot-swappable, transceiver components
that you plug into SFP-compatible
modules and supervisor engines. The
CWDM SFP transceiver uses an LC
optical connector to connect to
single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) cable.
You can connect the CWDM SFPs to
CWDM passive optical system optical
add/drop multiplexer (OADM) modules
or multiplexer/demultiplexer plug-in
modules using single-mode fiber-optic
cables.
DWDM XENPAK transceivers are used
as part of a DWDM optical network to
provide high-capacity bandwidth across
an optical fiber network. There are 32
fixed-wavelength DWDM XENPAK
transceivers that support the
International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) 100 GHz wavelength grid.
The DWDM XENPAK transceivers
have a duplex SC connector.
The R/O WDM XENPAK receiver
(WDM-XENPAK-REC) operates as a
pluggable receiver on any
unidirectional link in a CWDM or
DWDM transport network; there is no
transmitter in the XENPAK. The
receiver can be used for all wavelengths
supported by Cisco DWDM XENPAK
transceivers. The W/O WDM receiver
has a single SC connector.
