Description
The AddOn Cisco® SFP-16GB-DW48-40-C-AO is a high-performance, hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver designed for 16GBase-DWDM Fibre Channel applications over single-mode fiber (SMF). Operating at a 1538.98 nm wavelength (ITU Channel DW48) with a cooled EML transmitter and PIN receiver, it delivers reliable data transmission up to 40 km. This transceiver is fully compliant with SFF-8432 and SFF-8472 standards and supports digital optical monitoring (DOM) for real-time diagnostics. Engineered for seamless interoperability, it is 100% compatible with the equivalent Cisco® transceiver and is TAA-compliant for government procurement. Featuring excellent ESD protection, low EMI design, and superior build quality, this module is ideal for enterprise, metro, and access network deployments where high-capacity Fibre Channel and DWDM performance are essential.
