Frequently Asked Questions
What is 10GBASE-DWDM and how does it benefit my network?
10GBASE-DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) enables multiple 10 Gbps data streams over a single fiber pair by using different wavelengths. This DWDM transceiver maximizes fiber utilization, reduces infrastructure costs, and extends network reach to 40 km without requiring additional fiber deployment.
Is the ENet DWDM-X2-59.79-40K-ENC compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, this module is 100% Cisco compatible. It operates as a drop-in replacement for the Cisco DWDM-X2-59.79-40K-ENC, ensuring seamless integration with existing Cisco optical networking infrastructure without configuration changes.
What does 1559.79 nm wavelength on 100 GHZ ITU grid mean?
The 1559.79 nm wavelength operates on the standardized 100 GHZ ITU grid, which defines channel spacing for DWDM systems. This ensures interoperability across vendor equipment and allows this X2 module to coexist with other wavelengths on the same fiber for multi-channel deployments.
What transmission distance does the 40 km rating provide?
The 40 km specification indicates this 10GBASE-DWDM transceiver can reliably transmit 10 Gbps signals over 40 kilometers of single-mode fiber. This distance is ideal for metropolitan area networks (MANs) and campus interconnects without requiring optical amplification.
