Cisco compatible DWDM-SFP10G-C-S Description
EdgeOptic's DWDM-SFP10G-C-S compatible is a Cisco-coded tunable 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver for 80 km C-Band single-mode fiber links. Unlike the linear DWDM-SFP10G-C, the -C-S includes a built-in decision circuit (limiting receiver), so it works on any standard digital SFP+ port without requiring EDC on the host side. 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. Cisco markets the -C-S as 10G Ethernet, with operation at OTN and STM-64 line rates dependent on host port capabilities. 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 limiting-receiver design means the -C-S works on Cisco platforms with standard SFP+ ports, including Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, and NCS series equipment. This makes the -C-S the universally deployable variant. The DWDM-SFP10G-C (linear/EDC) variant is preferred only on line cards that explicitly provide an EDC PHY. For platform-specific verification beyond the listed examples, consult the Cisco Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com. The -C-S also serves as a tunable replacement for end-of-sale fixed-wavelength DWDM-SFP10G-xx.xx modules across all standard SFP+ ports, consolidating 89 fixed-channel SKUs into one tunable SKU.
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
Which Cisco platforms support the DWDM-SFP10G-C-S?
Any Cisco platform with standard SFP+ ports. The -C-S is the limiting (decision-circuit) variant and does not require EDC on the host port, so it works across the Catalyst 9000 series, Nexus 3000 and 9000 series, ASR 900 and 9000 routers, and NCS 5500 fixed-configuration models. The -C-S was introduced specifically for platforms whose SFP+ ports do not provide EDC, where the linear DWDM-SFP10G-C will not function. Check the Cisco Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com for the specific line card and IOS/NX-OS release.
Why choose the DWDM-SFP10G-C-S over the DWDM-SFP10G-C?
Choose the -C-S when the host platform's SFP+ ports lack EDC-capable PHYs. The -C-S works on every port the -C works on, plus all the standard digital SFP+ ports the -C cannot drive. 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. The decision factor is the host port's electrical interface type, not the optical specification.
