The 10Gbps DWDM XFP Optical Transceiver is a high-performance module designed for long-range data communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 40 kilometers. It supports bit rates from 9.95Gbps to 11.3Gbps and features a cooled DWDM EML laser transmitter and a PIN receiver. This module is compatible with 10GBASE-ER/EW Ethernet, 40km Fiber Channel, and SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64 applications, adhering to the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), IEEE 802.3ae, and ITU-T standards.
The transceiver operates on +3.3V and +5V power supplies, consuming less than 3.5W. It is designed for commercial environments with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The hot-pluggable XFP footprint and duplex LC connector enable convenient integration into various network systems. Compliance with RoHS-6 standards ensures an environmentally friendly design.
Optically, the transceiver delivers an average optical power range of 0dBm to +4dBm, with an extinction ratio of 8.2dB and a center wavelength that aligns with a 100GHz DWDM ITU grid. The receiver sensitivity is -16.5dBm, with a saturation power of +0.5dBm. Advanced features include Loss of Signal (LOS) detection, which provides reliable link monitoring with assert and deassert thresholds of -28dBm and -22dBm, respectively.
Electrically, the module supports a differential impedance of 100Ω and input swing differentials from 120mV to 820mV. Advanced digital diagnostic capabilities, accessible via a two-wire serial interface, allow real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. Alarm thresholds and warnings facilitate proactive maintenance and ensure operational reliability.
In summary, the 10Gbps DWDM XFP Optical Transceiver is a reliable and efficient solution for high-speed, long-distance optical communication. Its advanced features, adherence to international standards, and robust design make it an essential component for modern telecommunications and data networking infrastructures.
This XFP module supports bit rates from 9.95 to 11.3 Gbps and complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER/EW, SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, and Fibre Channel standards. It operates over 9/125 µm SMF up to 40 km with a duplex LC connector. The transceiver is available in ITU-T 100 GHz DWDM C-band channels (1528.77 – 1563.86 nm). With a cooled EML transmitter, PIN receiver, and DDMI support, it delivers reliable performance. Power dissipation is <3.5 W, with +5 V and +3.3 V dual supply, and operating case temperature from 0 °C to +70 °C.
