CWDM SFP Optical Transceiver Modules
The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs are hot-swappable,
transceiver components that you can plug into standard receptacles in switching
modules that convert Gigabit Ethernet electrical signals into a single-mode
fiber-optic (SMF) interface. 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
with standard SC connectors. Table 2-15 lists the available CWDM SFP
wavelengths and color-coding identifier.
Figure 2-14 shows a CWDM SFP with the optical port dust plug removed.
