The Cisco 10GBASE DWDM SFP+ modules are Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing transceivers designed for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Key features and details include:
- Support for 10-Gigabit data rates from 9.9G to 11.1G (LAN, WAN, and OTU2/OTU2e).
- Smallest SFP+ module footprint in the industry.
- Hot-swappable device that plugs into an Ethernet SFP+ port of a Cisco switch or router.
- Digital optical monitoring capability for enhanced diagnostics and troubleshooting.
- Fixed DWDM modules support 40 non-tunable ITU 100-GHz wavelengths.
- Tunable DWDM modules support 96 tunable ITU 50-GHz wavelengths.
- Cisco quality identification (ID) feature to verify Cisco-certified modules.
The modules operate on the ITU wavelength grid with specific fixed wavelengths ranging approximately from 1530 nm to 1561 nm, spaced on a 100-GHz grid for fixed modules and a 50-GHz grid for tunable modules.
