Transition Networks CWDM SFP+ Module for Cisco
Meet the Transition Networks CWDM SFP+ Module for Cisco, a high-performance optical transceiver designed to unlock faster, more flexible fiber connectivity in enterprise data centers, campus networks, and service-provider cores. Built to fit Cisco SFP+ slots and tuned for CWDM deployments, this module delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-ER) performance over single-mode fiber with minimal latency and maximum efficiency. Whether you're refreshing aging links, scaling a growing data fabric, or interconnecting distant data centers, this CWDM SFP+ module provides a scalable, cost-effective solution that combines easy installation, strong link budgets, and compatibility with industry-leading Cisco devices.
- Experience high-performance, scalable bandwidth with 10GBase-ER over CWDM channels optimized for long‑haul links. This CWDM SFP+ module delivers reliable 10 gigabits per second data transfer across enterprise networks, data centers, and service provider backbones, helping you consolidate fiber infrastructure and reduce capex. The module’s CWDM design provides efficient multiplexing so multiple wavelengths can share a single fiber pair, while preserving independent, high‑speed links to support virtualization, database replication, backup windows, and real-time analytics. With Transition Networks’ engineering, you gain robust performance, low error rates, and consistent throughput that supports modern 24x7 operations. Perfect for data centers, campuses, and edge deployments that require high-speed interconnects.
- Cisco-ready integration and seamless network operations: Designed to slot into Cisco devices that support SFP+ CWDM transceivers, this module presents as a standard 10G SFP+ interface to Cisco IOS and NX-OS. It works with your existing management tools and monitoring dashboards, allowing quick PHY-level diagnostics, link status checks, and performance counters. The plug‑and‑play deployment minimizes service windows and reduces risk during upgrades, so IT teams can scale CWDM capacity across core, distribution, and access layers without re-architecting the network. The module supports hot-swappable installation in supported Cisco hardware, helping maintain uptime and service continuity.
- CWDM technology and reach: Built around CWDM multiplexing, this SFP+ module helps you maximize fiber capacity by supporting multiple wavelengths across a standard single-mode fiber plant. The result is lower fiber costs and simplified fiber management while keeping generous reach for inter-switch links, campus backbones, and remote sites. The 10GBase-ER specification ensures robust performance over extended distances, with strong link budgets for error-free transmission of critical applications. Whether you're connecting two data centers or backing up remote sites, CWDM channels provide scalable headroom for future growth and evolving bandwidth demands.
- Reliability and durability: Transition Networks strengthens confidence with high-precision optics, tight tolerances, and low insertion loss that translate into consistent throughput. The module is designed for continuous operation in temperature-variant data centers and edge environments, delivering stable performance under standard industrial conditions. Expect minimal bit error rates, predictable latency, and strong MTBF figures that support mission-critical workloads like virtualization, high-frequency trading data streams, and video-conferencing. Built to endure field deployments, the module resists misalignment and offers robust mechanical compatibility with Cisco chassis, racks, and fiber infrastructure, helping you protect your investment over the long term.
- Ease of installation and management: The CWDM SFP+ Module is engineered for fast, reliable installation within Cisco ecosystems. It features a standard LC duplex connector, a compact form factor, and clear LED indicators to confirm link status and activity. With plug-and-play integration and familiar Cisco management interfaces, IT teams can provision, monitor, and troubleshoot links with minimal training. The module aligns with CWDM fiber pairs and does not require changes to existing upstream optics, enabling incremental capacity growth as your network expands. For operations teams, this means faster service activation, easier maintenance, and improved control over long-haul CWDM links.
