Foundry CWDM100-1490 1.25Gb/s SFP 100km Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Foundry CWDM100-1490 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for long-distance data transmission over single-mode fiber optic networks. It supports a data rate of 1.25Gb/s, commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. This module is specifically engineered for extended reach, capable of operating over distances up to 100 kilometers, making it an excellent choice for backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and other long-haul telecommunications links. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1490nm, which is a specific channel within the CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) spectrum. This allows it to be integrated into CWDM systems, enabling the multiplexing of multiple data channels onto a single fiber, thereby increasing network capacity. Alternatively, it can be used for dedicated long-distance links requiring this particular wavelength. The use of single-mode fiber (SMF) is essential for achieving such long distances, as it minimizes signal attenuation and dispersion. The CWDM100-1490 features a Duplex LC connector, which is the standard for high-density fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical interface. It is designed for hot-swappable insertion into compatible networking equipment, such as switches and routers, facilitating easy deployment and maintenance without service interruption. This transceiver is a key component for extending network reach and capacity over significant geographical areas, providing reliable data transport for demanding applications.
