Add-On SFP-10G-ER-1550-AO CWDM SFP+ Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10G-ER-1550-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber (SMF) at a 1550nm wavelength. This module enables long-reach communication, suitable for extending network infrastructure in campus environments, data centers, or connecting remote surveillance equipment where standard SFP+ modules fall short. Its CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) capability allows for multiple signals to be transmitted over a single fiber strand by utilizing different wavelengths, maximizing fiber utilization.

Compatibility

This SFP+ transceiver is engineered for broad compatibility with network devices supporting the SFP+ interface. It is designed to be compatible with Cisco 10GBASE-ER equipment and other switches, routers, and network interface cards that adhere to SFP+ MSA standards. Specific compatibility extends to devices requiring 10G CWDM SFPs with a 1550nm wavelength for extended reach applications. Verify your host device's SFP+ port specifications and firmware support for third-party transceivers.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP-10G-ER-1550-AO module into an available SFP+ slot on your network equipment. Ensure the host device is powered on before insertion. Connect a single-mode fiber optic cable (LC connector) to the transceiver. For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, ensure fiber optic connectors are clean and the cable bend radius is not compromised. This transceiver operates within a specific wavelength (1550nm) and is intended for CWDM applications; ensure the corresponding wavelength is available on the other end of the fiber link or that a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer is in use.
