The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco® Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) XFP pluggable module (Figure 1) allows enterprise companies and service providers to provide scalable and easy-to-deploy 10 Gigabit LAN, WAN, and Optical Transport Network (OTN) services in their networks.
Cisco DWDM XFP module
Main features of the Cisco DWDM XFP include:
● The Cisco DWDM XFP supports 10-Gigabit data rates from 9.9G to 11.1G (LAN, WAN, and OTU2/OTU2e).
● The hot-swappable input/output device plugs into an Ethernet XFP port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network.
● The Cisco DWDM XFP supports the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature, which enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether or not the module is an XFP module certified and tested by Cisco.
● The tunable Cisco DWDM XFP supports 80 tunable ITU 50-GHz wavelengths.
● Cisco DWDM XFP module supports digital optical monitoring capability.
The Cisco DWDM XFP is supported across a variety of Cisco switches, routers, and optical transport devices. For more details, refer to the Cisco 10-Gigabit transceivers compatibility matrix at https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_6974.pdf.
Connectors and cabling
● Equipment: standard XFP interface
● Network: dual LC/PC connector
Note: Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified in the standards section.
Dimensions
● Dimensions (L x W x H): 71 x 18.5 x 8.5 mm. Cisco XFPs typically weigh less than 300 grams.
● Environmental conditions and power requirements:
◦ Operating temperature range: 32 to 158°F (0 to 70°C).
◦ Storage temperature range: -40 to 185°F (-40 to 85°C).
◦ The maximum power consumption per Cisco XFP module is 3.5W.

Note:
1. Parameters are specified over temperature and at end of life unless otherwise noted.
2. When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, an inline optical attenuator must be used to avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.
