CWDM Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

All Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series support 1-Gbps/2-Gbps
CWDM SFP transceivers. In addition, the Fibre Channel ports on Cisco MDS 9222i also support 4-Gbps
CWDM SFP transceivers.
The Cisco CWDM SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support both Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre
Channel (1-Gbps/2-Gbps). They match the wavelength plan of Cisco CWDM GBICs and Cisco CWDM
optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs).
CWDM SFP transceivers can be used in two ways:
•
•
There are eight different "colors" of CWDM SFP transceivers, one for each fixed wavelength. The fiber
optic cables from the CWDM SFP transceivers must be connected to an OADM. The OADM combines
the wavelengths of the different outgoing signals into one composite send signal. The OADM also
separates the received transmissions into the different wavelengths and sends them to the corresponding
CWDM SFP transceiver.

Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers

The 4-port and 8-port IP Storage services (IPS-4 and IPS-8) modules provide four or eight 1-Gigabit
Ethernet ports that support Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers. The Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers
have RJ-45 connectors and support Gigabit Ethernet (1-Gbps).

Transceiver Specifications" section on page

DWDM Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers

Fibre Channel ports on Cisco MDS 9222i support 2-Gbps DWDM SFP transceivers. The Cisco DWDM
Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support Fibre Channel (1-Gbps/2-Gbps). 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.
The DWDM SFP transceivers have the following capabilities:
•

CWDM transmission can send and receive up to eight laser wavelengths carrying different signals
simultaneously on the same optical fiber using an OADM.
ELWL signals can transmit over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers.
DWDM transmission can send and receive up to 32 laser wavelengths carrying different signals
simultaneously on the same optical fiber by using an optical filter.
ELWL signals can transmit over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers.
