CWDM GBIC

 

The CWDM GBIC transceivers provide

1000BASE-X full-duplex connectivity

WS-X6416-GBIC

 

 

 

 

between the GBIC-compatible

 

 

 

 

WS-X6516-GBIC

 

 

 

 

modules, supervisor engines, and the

 

 

 

 

network. A set of eight CWDM GBICs

WS-X6516A-GBIC

 

 

 

 

are available for use with the CWDM

 

 

 

 

WS-X6816-GBIC

 

 

 

 

Passive Optical System. The CWDM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GBIC transceivers have a duplex SC

 

 

 

 

 

 

connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DWDM GBIC

 

DWDM GBIC transceivers are used as

part of a DWDM optical network to

WS-X6416-GBIC

 

 

 

 

provide high-capacity bandwidth across

 

 

 

 

WS-X6516-GBIC

 

 

 

 

an fiber-optic network. There are 32

 

 

 

 

fixed-wavelength DWDM GBICs that

WS-X6516A-GBIC

 

 

 

 

support the International

 

 

 

 

WS-X6816-GBIC

 

 

 

 

Telecommunications Union (ITU)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100-GHz wavelength grid. The DWDM

 

 

 

 

 

 

GBIC transceivers have a duplex SC

 

 

 

 

 

 

connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R/O WDM GBIC

The R/O WDM GBIC receiver

WS-X6408A-GBIC

 

 

(WDM-GBIC-REC) operates as a

WS-X6416-GBIC

 

 

 

 

pluggable receiver on any

 

 

 

 

WS-X6516-GBIC

 

 

 

 

unidirectional link in a CWDM or

 

 

 

 

DWDM transport network; there is no

WS-X6516A-GBIC

 

 

 

 

transmitter in the GBIC. The receiver

 

 

 

 

WS-X6816-GBIC

 

 

 

 

can be used for all wavelengths

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

supported by Cisco CWDM and

 

 

 

 

 

 

DWDM transceivers and can be used

 

 

 

 

 

 

interchangeably with 1000BASE-SX,

 

 

 

 

 

 

1000BASE-LX/LH, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

1000BASE-ZX transceivers on a

 

 

 

 

 

 

port-by-port basis. The W/O WDM

 

 

 

 

 

 

receiver has a single SC connector.
