Description
The Cisco DWDM-X2-3112 is a high-performance, hot-swappable optical transceiver designed for use in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. Built for compatibility with Cisco switches and routers that support X2 form factor, this module enables 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber using ITU 100 GHz channel spacing. It supports distances up to 80 km with the use of amplified systems and dispersion compensation, making it ideal for metro and long-haul networking environments. The rugged, compact design ensures reliability and ease of integration into existing infrastructure.
This transceiver operates on a fixed DWDM wavelength of 1551.72 nm (Channel 31, ITU Grid), and supports digital optical monitoring (DOM) for real-time diagnostics. It features an SC/PC duplex fiber connector and complies with the 10GBASE-DWDM standard, ensuring interoperability across a range of optical networking equipment. With a maximum power consumption of 4W and support for extended operating temperatures, it is well-suited for demanding data center or carrier-grade applications. Buyers seeking dependable, cost-effective upgrades or replacements for legacy 10G DWDM components will find this module a strong choice.
