CWDM SFP 1470
I. Introduction
CWDM SFP 1470 is a compact and hot-pluggable transceiver module designed for use in optical communication networks. It is specifically designed for CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) applications, which allow multiple optical signals of different wavelengths to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber.
II. Overview
1. Size and Compatibility
CWDM SFP 1470 has a small form factor and is compliant with the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) MSA (Multi-Source Agreement). It is compatible with various network equipment, such as switches, routers, and media converters, that support SFP interfaces.
2. Wavelength Range
CWDM SFP 1470 operates at a specific wavelength of 1470 nm. This wavelength is one of the 18 channels defined in the CWDM wavelength range, ranging from 1270 nm to 1610 nm. Each channel is spaced 20 nm apart, allowing for up to 18 different channels to be used simultaneously.
3. Data Rate and Distance
CWDM SFP 1470 supports a data rate of up to 1.25 Gbps, making it suitable for various applications, including Ethernet, SONET, and Fibre Channel. It can transmit signals over a distance of up to 20 km without the need for any amplification or regeneration.
III. Features
