XFP Transceiver Types

XFP  Fiber optic transceivers are available for use with standard Duplex, Single Fiber Bidirectional (BiDi),  Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM), Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)  and Tunable DWDM XFP.

XFP Transceivers

10G XFP Transceivers

OptoSpan Duplex XFP Transceivers are used for a collection of high-speed optical fiber links in data and telecommunications. These protocol-dependent XFP fiber optic transceivers exceed 10Gbps bandwidth used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, and reach up to 80 km.  OptoSpans platinum series are compatible with Cisco XFP Transceiver Modules, also standard OEM compatible are available

XFP Transceivers

Single Fiber Bidirectional (BiDi) XFP Transceivers

OptoSpan Single Fiber Bidirectional XFP Transceivers use simplex single-mode fiber to double the bandwidth without the cost. These hot-swappable single fiber transceivers provide data rates of 10G and distance up to 60 km.  Single Fiber XFP BiDi transceivers are available in Cisco compatibility and standard OEM compatibility.

XFP Transceivers

CWDM XFP Transceivers

OptoSpan XFP CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transceivers transmit multiple data channels using separate optical wavelengths onto a single fiber to increase network capacity for a fiber optical transceiver module.  10G CWDM XFP transceiver modules have a reach of up to 80km.  OptoSpan’s platinum series are Cisco XFP Transceiver Module compatible and also are available in standard OEM compatibility.

XFP Transceivers

DWDM XFP Transceivers

OptoSpan DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) XFP transceivers use different wavelengths to multiplex several optical signal onto a single fiber, without requiring any power to operate. These transceivers are intended for high capacity, long distance transmissions.  Available in DWDM XFP 40km and 80km DWDM XFP at 10G and 100GHz.   DWDM Cisco compatible and standard OEM DWDM XFP compatible.

XFP Transceivers

Tunable XFP Transceivers

OptoSpan Tunable DWDM XFP transceivers increase port density by dropping unused wavelengths. Optospan offers 10G DWDM tunable modules for 40 and 80km distance. OptoSpan Tunable XFP are Cisco compatible with our Platinum series modules and feature generic OEM compatibility with our Standard series tunable transceivers.
