The 10Gbps Tunable DWDM XFP Transceiver is a cutting-edge optical module designed for long-distance data communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 80 kilometers. Supporting a wide range of data rates from 9.95Gbps to 11.3Gbps, it features a fully tunable DWDM laser transmitter and a high-sensitivity APD receiver. This transceiver is compliant with the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), IEEE 802.3ae standards, and ITU-T G.959.1 P1L1-2D2 specifications, making it suitable for applications such as 10GBASE-ZR/ZW Ethernet, SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, and DWDM networks.
Operating with a +3.3V power supply, the transceiver consumes less than 2.5W, offering energy-efficient performance. Designed for commercial environments, it functions reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its hot-pluggable form factor and duplex LC connector ensure easy integration and upgrades in high-performance network systems. The module is RoHS compliant, reflecting its environmentally friendly design.
Optical capabilities are a key strength of this transceiver, featuring a tunable DWDM laser aligned to a 50GHz ITU grid within the C Band. The transmitter delivers an average optical power of 0dBm to +5dBm, with an extinction ratio of 6dB, ensuring robust signal integrity over extended distances. The receiver sensitivity is rated at -23dBm, with overload handling up to -7dBm. Loss of Signal (LOS) functionality provides enhanced diagnostics, supporting efficient link monitoring and fault management.
Electrically, the module supports a differential input impedance of 100Ω and input/output swing differentials ranging from 180mV to 850mV. Advanced features include Transmit Disable (TX_DISABLE), Fault Indicators, and a two-wire serial interface for digital diagnostic monitoring. These diagnostics provide real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, voltage, bias current, transmitted power, and received power. Alarm and warning thresholds ensure network reliability by notifying operators of deviations from optimal performance.
In summary, the 10Gbps Tunable DWDM XFP Transceiver is a versatile and efficient solution for long-distance optical communication in DWDM systems. Its advanced tunable features, adherence to industry standards, and robust diagnostic capabilities make it an essential component for modern telecommunications and high-capacity 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, ITU-T G.959.1, and Fibre Channel standards. It operates over 9/125 µm SMF up to 80 km with a duplex LC connector. The tunable DWDM laser covers the entire ITU-T 50 GHz C-band (191.95–196.00 THz, 1529.55–1561.83 nm). It consumes <2.5 W, powered by a single 3.3 V supply, with DDMI for real-time monitoring. Operating case temperature is 0 °C to +70 °C.
