Transceivers
DWDM GBIC
Transceivers
Refer to Table B-9 for
specific product numbers
• DWDM GBIC 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 GBICs that support the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100 GHz
wavelength grid.
• See Table B-9 for a list of the wavelengths.
• Refer to your release notes for a list of compatible modules and
the software release level necessary to support these DWDM
GBICs.
• Figure B-8 shows the physical appearance of the DWDM
GBIC.
R/O WDM
GBIC
WDM-GBIC-REC
• The R/O WDM GBIC receiver (WDM-GBIC-REC) operates as
a pluggable receiver on any unidirectional link in a CWDM or
DWDM transport network; there is no transmitter in the GBIC.
• The receiver can be used for all wavelengths supported by Cisco
CWDM and DWDM transceivers and can be used
interchangeably with 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, and
1000BASE-ZX transceivers on a port-by-port basis.
• The W/O WDM receiver has a single SC connector.
• Refer to your release notes for a list of compatible modules and
the software release level necessary to support these R/O WDM
GBICs.
CWDM SFP
Transceivers
Refer to Table B-10 for
specific product numbers
• The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs
are hot-swappable, transceiver components that you plug into
SFP-compatible modules and supervisor engines.
• The 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.
• Refer to your release notes for a list of compatible modules and
the software release level necessary to support these DWDM
GBICs.
