Selecting an SFP 19
CWDM SFPS are also supported. CWDM technology consolidates
multiple optical channels on a common optical fiber. CWDM uses multiple
wavelengths to expand available bandwidth.
CWDM SFPs are designed to support high speed data communications
for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). The system uses a grid of eight
CWDM optical wavelengths in both ring and point-to-point configurations.
All components are color-coded by wavelength.
ATTENTION
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber optic
cable used.

Procedure job aid: SFP models with DDI
Any Digital Diagnostic Indicating (DDI) SFP can be used in any Ethernet
Routing Switch module that supports SFPs. The optical functions of the
SFP are supported. Access to the DDI information will be provided in
a future release.
The SFPs described in this section are all RoHS -E6 compliant.
