For the specifications that differentiate the 1000BASE-CWDM SFP transceivers, see Table B-12. For 
specifications and installation information that apply to all CWDM SFP transceivers, see the Cisco SFP 
and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes.
1000BASE-DWDM SFP Transceivers
The Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) SFP transceivers are part of a DWDM optical 
network to provide high-capacity bandwidth across a fiber-optic network. There are 40 fixed-wavelength 
DWDM SFP transceivers that support the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100-GHz 
wavelength grid. These transceivers have duplex SC connectors. DWDM SFP transceivers can transmit 
and receive optical signals up to 50 miles (80 km) depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cable used.
DWDM SFP transceivers look like the typical 1000BASE-X transceivers as shown in Figure B-5 on page 
B-11.
