The Cisco CWDM-SFP-1510-RF is a compact, hot-swappable optical transceiver module designed for connecting Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks using coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) technologies. This SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver is specifically designed for high-bandwidth data transmission across single-mode optical fibre.
It operates at a wavelength of 1510 nm (nanometres), a critical specification for CWDM applications, which allows multiple data streams to be transmitted over a single fibre by using different wavelengths. The module is ideal for short to long-range datacentre, enterprise, or service provider network deployments, allowing for extended levels of efficiency and scalability.
A key feature of the CWDM-SFP-1510-RF is its support for Gigabit transmission rates of up to 1.25 Gbps for Ethernet applications and 1.0625 Gbps for Fibre Channel environments. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for a range of networking needs.
The transceiver complies with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Cisco networking devices that accept SFP modules. Its hot-swappable design allows network administrators to add or replace the module without disrupting network traffic, ensuring operational efficiency.
In terms of distance capabilities, the module can deliver links up to 80 km when paired with compatible CWDM solutions, making it highly efficient for long-range communications across metropolitan area networks (MAN) or large-scale enterprise infrastructures. The unit, being a remanufactured model labelled with "RF", indicates it has been refurbished and tested to meet Cisco specifications, providing a cost-effective solution for network expansion.
However, it’s important to ensure that the module is integrated into a compatible network configuration that supports CWDM wavelengths for optimal performance.
