Product Description
The RiverStone GIC-CWDM-1290 is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceiver designed for high-speed networking over single-mode fiber. Operating at a data rate of 1.25 Gb/s, it complies with the 1000Base-EX standard, which is typically used for longer reach Gigabit Ethernet applications. This specific module is part of a CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system, utilizing a unique wavelength of 1290nm to transmit data. CWDM allows multiple signals to be transmitted over a single fiber strand by using different wavelengths, increasing network capacity. This GBIC transceiver is capable of supporting transmission distances of up to 40 kilometers on single-mode fiber. The 1290nm wavelength is chosen for its suitability in CWDM systems and its performance characteristics over extended lengths. The module is equipped with a standard SC duplex connector, providing a robust and widely compatible physical interface for fiber optic connections. The GBIC form factor, while older than SFP or XFP, is still found in many network switches and routers. The GIC-CWDM-1290 is designed for reliable operation in enterprise and carrier environments, offering a cost-effective way to achieve long-distance Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, especially when integrated into a CWDM infrastructure. Its specific wavelength makes it a key component for multiplexing different data streams over shared fiber.
