DWDM Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers
The Cisco DWDM SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel. The
DWDM SFP transceivers match the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100-Ghz
wavelength grid and the wavelength plan of Cisco 100-Ghz ONS product family.
DWDM SFP transceivers are used in the following ways:
• DWDM transmission can send and receive up to 32 laser wavelengths carrying different signals
simultaneously on the same optical fiber using an optical filter.
• ELWL signals can transmit over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers.
