Description
The Cisco DWDM-XFP-C is a high-performance, hot-swappable transceiver module designed for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) applications in enterprise and service provider networks. Built in the XFP form factor, it supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel over single-mode fiber, making it ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth optical links. The module is engineered with a duplex LC connector and operates on a specific ITU-compliant 100 GHz DWDM wavelength, allowing for scalable bandwidth expansion without additional fiber infrastructure. Its compact design and low power consumption make it suitable for high-density deployments in data centers and telecom environments.
This transceiver supports a transmission distance of up to 80 km, depending on the specific wavelength and fiber type, and is compliant with MSA standards for interoperability across platforms. It features digital optical monitoring (DOM) capabilities, enabling real-time diagnostics for parameters such as optical power, temperature, and voltage. The DWDM-XFP-C is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches and routers, ensuring seamless integration into existing network frameworks. When purchasing used, buyers should confirm wavelength, firmware compatibility, and optical performance to ensure optimal operation within their network infrastructure.
