Description
Table B-9
for
DWDM GBIC transceivers are used as part of a DWDM optical
•
network to provide high-capacity bandwidth across an optical
fiber network.
There are 32 fixed-wavelength GBICs that support the
•
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100 GHz
wavelength grid.

the software release level necessary to support these DWDM
GBICs.

GBIC.
The R/O WDM GBIC receiver (WDM-GBIC-REC) operates as
•
a pluggable receiver on any unidirectional link in a CWDM or
DWDM transport network; there is no transmitter in the GBIC.
•
The receiver can be used for all wavelengths supported by Cisco
CWDM and DWDM transceivers and can be used
interchangeably with 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, and
1000BASE-ZX transceivers on a port-by-port basis.
The W/O WDM receiver has a single SC connector.

The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs
are hot-swappable, transceiver components that you plug into
SFP-compatible modules and supervisor engines.
The SFP transceiver uses an LC optical connector to connect to
•
single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) cable.
You can connect the CWDM SFPs to CWDM passive optical
•
system optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) modules or
multiplexer/demultiplexer plug-in modules using single-mode
fiber-optic cables.
