Figure 2 CWDM GBIC with Wavelength Appropriate for Fiber-Connected Device

The Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide contains specific procedures for attaching optical fiber to GBICs

and inserting GBICs into the G-Series card.

Example of CWDM or DWDM GBIC Application

A G-Series card equipped with CWDM or DWDM GBICs supports the delivery of unprotected Gigabit

Ethernet service over Metro DWDM (Figure 3). It can be used in short-haul and long-haul applications.

SFP Description and Specifications

SFPs are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide high speed serial links from a port or slot to the

network. Various latching mechanisms can be utilized on the SFPs. There is no correlation between the

type of latch to the model type (such as SX or LX/LH) or technology type (such as Gigabit Ethernet).
