The 10Gbps DWDM XFP Optical Transceiver is a high-performance module designed for ultra-long-distance data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 80 kilometers. Supporting data rates ranging from 9.95Gbps to 11.3Gbps, it is suitable for applications such as 10GBASE-ZR/ZW Ethernet, DWDM Fiber Channel, and SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64. The transceiver integrates a cooled DWDM EML laser and an APD receiver, making it ideal for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. It complies with XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications, IEEE 802.3ae standards, and ITU-T requirements for reliable and efficient operation.
This module operates on +3.3V and +5V power supplies with a power consumption of less than 3.5W. It is designed for commercial environments, with an operating case temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. The hot-pluggable design and duplex LC connector allow for easy integration into modern networking systems. The transceiver is RoHS compliant, ensuring environmentally friendly manufacturing and usage.
The optical performance of the transceiver includes an average output power range of 0dBm to +5dBm, an extinction ratio of 9dB, and a center wavelength aligned to the 100GHz ITU DWDM grid. The receiver sensitivity is rated at -24dBm, with a saturation power of -6dBm, supporting robust performance even in demanding conditions. Advanced diagnostic features, such as Loss of Signal (LOS) detection, enhance operational monitoring and fault management.
Electrically, the transceiver supports a differential impedance of 100Ω and input/output swing differentials ranging from 120mV to 820mV. Advanced digital diagnostics provide real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, laser bias current, and optical power, accessible via a two-wire serial interface. Alarm and warning flags notify users of deviations from optimal performance thresholds, ensuring network reliability.
In summary, the 10Gbps DWDM XFP Optical Transceiver is a dependable and efficient solution for high-speed, long-distance optical networking. Its advanced features, compliance with industry standards, and robust diagnostic capabilities make it a valuable component for 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-ZR/ZW, SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, and Fibre Channel standards. It operates over 9/125 µm SMF up to 80 km with a duplex LC connector. The module is available across ITU-T C-band DWDM channels (1528.77 – 1563.86 nm) with 100 GHz spacing. It consumes <3.5 W, powered by +5 V and +3.3 V dual supplies, and supports DDMI for real-time monitoring. The case operating temperature is 0 °C to +70 °C.
