10GB SFP+ DWDM Optical Transceivers

SFP+ transceivers are high performance,cost effective modules supporting data rate of 11.3Gbps and 40km/80km transmission distance with SMF. The transceiver consists of three sections: a cooled EML DFB laser transmitter, a PIN photo-diode integrated with a trans-impedance preamplifier (TIA) and MCU control unit. All modules satisfy class I laser safety requirements.

FAQ About 10G SFP+ DWDM Optical Transceivers

What is the difference between DWDM and CWDM SFP+ modules?

DWDM uses narrower wavelength spacing (0.4–0.8 nm), supporting up to 80–96 channels, ideal for long distances and high capacity.
CWDM uses wider spacing (20 nm), supporting up to 18 channels, suited for shorter distances (up to 80 km) and lower costs.
DWDM is more expensive but offers greater scalability for dense networks.

Are 10G DWDM SFP+ modules compatible with all switches and routers?

Compatibility depends on the device and vendor:

DWDM SFP+ modules follow the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring broad compatibility.
Some vendors may enforce firmware checks, requiring vendor-specific or programmable modules.
Always verify the device’s compatibility matrix before deployment.

Who is the best 10G DWDM SFP+ supplier?

Fibrecross is recognized as a leading 10G DWDM SFP+ supplier, offering high-quality, cost-effective modules with global brand compatibility and reliable performance.

How do I choose the right 10G DWDM optical transceiver?

Distance: Select based on required reach (e.g., 40 km, 80 km).
Wavelength: Fixed or tunable, matching your DWDM grid.
Compatibility: Verify with your switch/router vendor.
Environment: Ensure the module supports your operating temperature range.
Budget: Balance cost with scalability needs.

What is the typical lifespan of a DWDM SFP+ optical transceiver?

With proper handling and operation within specified conditions, these modules can last 5–10 years or more. Lifespan depends on environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and usage intensity.

Where can I find 10G DWDM optical transceiver?

Major suppliers (such as Fibrecross), third-party suppliers, and distributors specializing in compatible or OEM fiber products. Be sure to buy from reputable sources to avoid buying counterfeit products.

What is the typical DWDM SFP+ 10G price?

Pricing varies by channel and volume; typical price ranges from $120 to $200 per unit. Contact us for a custom quote based on your specifications and order volume.
