Cisco compatible DWDM-SFP10G-C Description
EdgeOptic's DWDM-SFP10G-C compatible is a Cisco-coded tunable 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver for 80 km C-Band single-mode fiber links. This is the linear (analog) receiver variant of Cisco's tunable 10G DWDM family, intended for host SFP+ ports that provide a linear electrical path with EDC (Electronic Dispersion Compensation) capability. The module is manufactured to the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431) and ships with Cisco-recognized vendor coding, so IOS XE and NX-OS accept it natively without the service unsupported-transceiver command.
Optical specifications: tunable across the ITU 50 GHz C-Band grid (Channels 17 to 61, 1528.38 to 1564.68 nm, 89 channels). Reach 80 km over duplex SMF with a 23 dB optical link budget. Tunable monolithic MZM TOSA on the transmit side, APD photodiode on the receive side. Launch power −1 to +4 dBm, RX sensitivity better than −23 dBm, dispersion tolerance 1600 ps/nm. Data rates from 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps cover 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps), STM-64 (9.95 Gbps), 10G FC (10.52 Gbps), 8G FC (8.5 Gbps), OTU2 (10.71 Gbps), and OTU2e (11.09 Gbps). Full DOM/DDM telemetry, 0 to 70 °C commercial temperature range, CE and RoHS certified, Class 1 laser per IEC 60825-1.
Host platform compatibility: the linear/EDC requirement on the -C variant means the host SFP+ port must provide an EDC PHY. Some Cisco IOS XR-based router line cards provide an EDC PHY; many Catalyst and Nexus SFP+ ports do not. The DWDM-SFP10G-C-S (limiting receiver variant) is the correct choice for platforms without EDC. Verify EDC capability for the exact line card and chassis against the Cisco Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com before ordering. The DWDM-SFP10G-C is also a direct replacement for Cisco's end-of-sale fixed-wavelength DWDM-SFP10G-xx.xx series, where one tunable SKU consolidates 89 fixed-channel SKUs.
Made to order with a 2-week lead time, backed by a lifetime warranty and 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. For volume pricing, custom EEPROM coding requests, or platform-specific compatibility verification, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Cisco DWDM-SFP10G-C and DWDM-SFP10G-C-S?
The DWDM-SFP10G-C is the linear (analog) receiver variant and requires the host SFP+ port to provide a linear signal path with EDC (Electronic Dispersion Compensation). The DWDM-SFP10G-C-S is the limiting (decision-circuit) receiver variant and works on any standard digital SFP+ port without EDC. Both modules are tunable across the same 50 GHz C-Band ITU grid, share the same 80 km reach and 23 dB link budget, and use the same Cisco-recognized EEPROM coding. Catalyst and most Nexus 3000/9000 SFP+ ports do not provide EDC, so the -C-S is the correct choice for those platforms. Check the Cisco Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com for EDC status of the specific line card.
Does the EdgeOptic DWDM-SFP10G-C require service unsupported-transceiver on Cisco?
No. EdgeOptic codes the DWDM-SFP10G-C with Cisco-recognized vendor EEPROM, so IOS XE and NX-OS accept the module natively. The service unsupported-transceiver command and the no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid workaround are not needed. The module is identified as a genuine DWDM-SFP10G-C in show inventory and show interfaces transceiver output.
Can the DWDM-SFP10G-C replace Cisco fixed-wavelength DWDM-SFP10G-xx.xx modules?
Yes. Cisco has issued end-of-sale notices for the fixed-wavelength DWDM-SFP10G-xx.xx series. Tune the DWDM-SFP10G-C to the matching ITU C-Band channel and one tunable SKU replaces all 89 fixed-channel variants. This simplifies sparing, since a single SKU on the shelf covers any channel in the 50 GHz grid. Note: the -C is the linear/EDC variant. If the original fixed module was deployed on a Catalyst or most Nexus switch ports that lack EDC, the -C-S is the correct replacement instead.
