Add-On SFP-10GB-DW38-100-I-AO DWDM SFP+ Optical Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10GB-DW38-100-I-AO is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet DWDM SFP+ optical transceiver designed for long-haul single-mode fiber (SMF) deployments. It enables high-speed data transmission up to 100 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network nodes in enterprise, carrier, and data center environments. This module operates on a specific wavelength (1546.92 nm) within the DWDM spectrum, allowing for dense wavelength division multiplexing to maximize fiber capacity.

Compatibility

This SFP+ module is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that adheres to SFF-8432 and SFF-8472 standards. It is designed for use in switches, routers, and network interface cards that support 10Gbps SFP+ form factors. Specific compatibility is guaranteed with equipment from major network vendors that support MSA-compliant optics. It is also TAA compliant, meeting requirements for government and certain enterprise procurements.

Installation Notes

The transceiver utilizes a Duplex LC connector for fiber optic termination. It requires a standard SFP+ cage on the host device. Power dissipation is a maximum of 1.8W, ensuring it does not overload switch power budgets. The operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C supports deployment in demanding environmental conditions, including extended temperature environments found in some network closets or outdoor enclosures.
