Cisco compatible DWDM-SFP10G-C Description
The EdgeOptic DWDM-SFP10G-C is a Cisco-compatible tunable 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver based on the DWDM-10G-SFP-80-TUN platform. This is the linear (analog) receiver variant, which requires the host SFP+ port to have a linear signal path with EDC capability. The module is manufactured to SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431) specifications and 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 DWDM-SFP10G-C uses a tunable laser transmitter operating across ITU C-Band channels on the 50 GHz DWDM grid and an APD receiver. This tunable DWDM SFP+ module supports software-configurable wavelength selection, allowing a single SKU to replace any of the fixed-wavelength DWDM channel variants for simplified inventory management. 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 DWDM-SFP10G-C is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with Class 1 laser safety standards (IEC 60825-1). The module EEPROM is programmed with Cisco-recognized vendor coding, so Cisco platforms identify it as a genuine transceiver. No service unsupported-transceiver or no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid commands are needed. The DWDM-SFP10G-C is the linear variant requiring EDC (Electronic Dispersion Compensation) on the host SFP+ port. For Catalyst and most Nexus platforms that lack EDC, use the DWDM-SFP10G-C-S limiting variant instead.
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 variant: the host SFP+ port must have a linear signal path with EDC capability to correctly recover the signal. The DWDM-SFP10G-C-S is the limiting variant with a built-in decision circuit that works on any standard digital SFP+ port without EDC. Most Cisco Catalyst switches and the majority of Nexus platforms do not provide EDC on SFP+ ports and require the -C-S variant. Certain Nexus 7000 M-series and select Nexus 3000 line cards do support EDC. On routers like the ASR 9000 and NCS 5500 series, EDC availability varies by line card and port position.
Both variants are tunable across the C-band and share the same wavelength configuration commands. Both are rated for 80 km reach with a 23 dB optical link budget over G.652 single-mode fiber. Check the Cisco Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for your specific platform and line card to confirm EDC support before ordering.
Does the EdgeOptic DWDM-SFP10G-C require service unsupported-transceiver on Cisco?
No. The EdgeOptic DWDM-SFP10G-C is programmed with Cisco-recognized EEPROM coding. Cisco switches and routers identify the module as a genuine Cisco transceiver, displaying the correct PID in show inventory output. No service unsupported-transceiver or no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid commands are needed.
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 across multiple EoL bulletins, with no like-for-like fixed-channel replacement announced. The tunable DWDM-SFP10G-C (or -C-S) replaces all fixed-channel variants: one tunable SKU covers every fixed-wavelength channel. Tune the module to the ITU channel that matches your DWDM mux/demux port, and it operates identically to the fixed-wavelength module it replaces.
