10G Tunable DWDM XFP 80km Transceiver: DWDM-10G-XFP-80-TUN-F

Our EDGEOPTIC DWDM-10G-XFP-80-TUN-F is a multi-vendor compatible 10G Tunable DWDM XFP dual-fiber optical module designed for flexible ultra-long-reach dense wavelength-division multiplexed 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications operating over single-mode fiber cabling. While XFP represents a legacy transceiver form factor approaching end-of-life status in many deployments, this module continues to serve critical infrastructure requiring XFP compatibility. The DWDM-10G-XFP-80-TUN-F operates within the ITU-T G.694.1 C-Band spectrum, featuring field-tunable wavelength selection across channels 17 through 61 with 50 GHz spacing, providing 89 distinct wavelength options for maximum deployment flexibility. Supporting data rates from 8.5 to 11.32 Gbps across multiple protocol standards and applications, the module can be dynamically configured for any ITU channel operation through software control. Our 10G Tunable DWDM XFP transceiver utilizes Monolithic MZM Tunable TOSA (Transmitter Optical Sub-Assembly) technology for transmission paired with APD (Avalanche Photodiode) for enhanced optical reception sensitivity. The transceiver ensures a 23 dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance capabilities. Over single-mode fiber, the transceiver reliably reaches distances up to 80 kilometers, enabling flexible wavelength-multiplexed connectivity for regional and metropolitan networks. However, distance is just an indicative parameter calculated for convenience of identification – ultimately we calculate distance considering minimal optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in the industry.

The DWDM-10G-XFP-80-TUN-F compatible module features hot-pluggable XFP architecture with duplex LC/UPC connectors as the optical interface. The tunable laser technology eliminates the need for maintaining extensive fixed-wavelength inventory, allowing real-time wavelength provisioning and rapid service deployment. The electrical interface conforms to INF-8077i XFP MSA Rev.4.5 specifications, ensuring compatibility with legacy XFP host systems supporting multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 10G Tunable DWDM XFP transceiver can be encoded to maintain compatibility and successfully operate across 80+ brands of network equipment. The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time operational data including transmitted and received optical power levels, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage. The module operates within standard 0 to 70°C temperature range, with appropriate thermal management for sustained operation in controlled telecommunications environments.

Standards compliance encompasses IEEE 802.3ae for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, alongside SDH/SONET specifications supporting STM-64, and high-speed Fiber Channel support from 8G to 10G. Additionally, the transceiver supports Optical Transport Network applications including ODU2 through ODU2e and OTU1e through OTU2f standards. The tunable DWDM implementation with 50 GHz channel spacing enables up to 89 separate 10G channels within the C-Band spectrum, providing exceptional spectral density for bandwidth-intensive applications. The Monolithic MZM Tunable TOSA technology ensures stable wavelength operation with minimal drift across the entire tuning range. The transceiver achieves multi-vendor interoperability through strict adherence to industry MSA standards, though equipment implementing vendor-specific module validation may require custom EEPROM programming for seamless compatibility. Our 10G Tunable DWDM XFP transceiver maintains CE/RoHS certification and complies with Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 laser safety standards.

Typical applications include dynamic optical transport networks, reconfigurable add-drop multiplexer systems requiring XFP compatibility, and existing telecommunications infrastructure demanding flexible wavelength allocation. The tunable capability proves invaluable for spare inventory reduction, rapid service provisioning, and wavelength-agile network architectures. Because our focus centers on providing top quality service, we perform comprehensive quality checks before delivery. Consequently, we conduct optical parameter measurements, connector cleanliness tests, and XFP transceiver EEPROM memory data validation tests for every module.
