Ciena compatible XCVR-T80W01 SFP+ Module

The EdgeOptic XCVR-T80W01 is a Ciena-compatible tunable 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver based on the DWDM-10G-SFP-80-TUN platform, manufactured to SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431) specifications. The module operates over duplex single-mode fiber with a rated 23 dB optical link budget, reaching up to 80 km. The 80 km distance assumes minimum optical budget and average fiber attenuation; actual reach depends on installed plant loss, connectors, and splices. The XCVR-T80W01 uses a tunable laser transmitter operating across ITU C-Band channels on the 50 GHz DWDM grid and an APD receiver. A single tunable SKU replaces any of the fixed-wavelength DWDM channel variants, reducing spare inventory to one part number. DDM/DOM optical diagnostics report transmit power, receive power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage via the MSA-compatible EEPROM interface.

The module has a duplex LC/UPC connector and operates within a 0–70 °C commercial temperature range. The chipset supports data rates from 8.5 to 11.32 Gbps, including 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps), STM-64 (9.95 Gbps), 10G Fibre Channel (10.52 Gbps), 8G Fibre Channel (8.5 Gbps), OTU2 (10.71 Gbps), and OTU2e (11.09 Gbps). Supported applications depend on the host port capabilities and are confirmed during the ordering process. Typical deployments include metro network backbones, regional carrier interconnects, inter-city data center interconnects, and service provider distribution networks over 80 km single-mode fiber. The multi-rate capability accommodates mixed-speed network environments where legacy SDH/SONET and 10G Ethernet coexist on the same DWDM infrastructure.

The EdgeOptic XCVR-T80W01 is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with Class 1 laser safety standards (IEC 60825-1). The module EEPROM is programmed with Ciena-recognized vendor coding and tested against Ciena SAOS-based platforms. In standard SAOS configuration, Ciena platforms do not block third-party optics; uncertified modules show an operational state of UCTF (uncertified) but link up and pass traffic, though behavior may vary by platform and SAOS version. With Ciena-coded EEPROM, the EdgeOptic XCVR-T80W01 is identified as a certified transceiver, avoiding UCTF status and non-authentication alarms entirely. The XCVR-T80W01 is supported on Ciena 3930, 3940, 5170, 5171 service delivery platforms and other SAOS-based equipment with 10G SFP+ ports. Each module undergoes optical parameter measurements, connector endface cleanliness inspection, and EEPROM data validation before shipment to confirm correct vendor-specific encoding and compliance with MSA specifications.
