10BASE-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 32 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 10GBASE-X SFP+ transceivers as shown in Figure B-4.

For the specifications that differentiate the 10GBASE-DWDM SFP+ transceivers, see the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix.

1000BASE-CWDM SFP Transceiver Cables

The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers are hot-swappable transceivers that you plug into SFP-compatible I/O modules. The CWDM 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 SMF cables. CWDM SFP transceivers can transmit and receive optical signals up to 61 miles (100 km) depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cable used.

CWDM SFP transceivers are color coded to indicate their designated optical wavelength. Figure B-7 shows the CWDM transceiver, which looks like a standard 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver with a colored arrow and bail clasp to indicate the designated wavelength.

Noteblank.gif Whenever the transceiver receive optical bores are not filled with optical cables, you should minimize the chance of contamination by plugging the transceiver with its dust plug.

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-9.

For the specifications that differentiate the 1000BASE-DWDM SFP transceivers, see the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix. For specifications and installation information that apply to all CWDM SFP transceivers, see the Cisco SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes .

1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X SFP Transceivers

The 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X SFPs are hot-swappable transceivers that you plug into SFP-compatible I/O modules. The 1000BASE-T transceiver, shown in Figure B-8, provides an RJ-45 connection for copper cables, and the 1000BASE-X transceiver, shown in Figure B-9, provides an optical connection for fiber-optic cables.

RJ-45 Module Connectors

The RJ-45 connector connects Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 6A foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the following module interface connectors:

  • Supervisor modules

Noteblank.gif If you need to connect a host that operates at up to 10 Mbps to a FEX, you can connect the host to a Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX, which has large port buffers that enable it to work at the slower 10-Mbps speed. If the 10-Mbps host that you are connecting cannot autonegotiate speeds, you must configure the host for 10 Mbps when connecting it to the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX.

Caution blank.gif To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightning immunity requirements, you must use foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

Figure B-10 shows the RJ-45 connector.
