CWDM SFP transceivers can be used in two ways:

CWDM transmission, which allows you to send and receive up to 8 laser wavelengths carrying different signals simultaneously on the same optical fiber, using an OADM.

Send ELWL signals, which are capable of transmitting over longer distances than LWL SFP transceivers

There are eight different “colors” of CWDM SFP transceivers, one for each fixed wavelength. The fiber optic cables from the CWDM SFP transceivers must be connected to an Optical Add/Drop Module (OADM), which combines the wavelengths of the different outgoing signals into one composite send signal, and separates the received transmissions into the different wavelengths and sends them to the corresponding CWDM SFP transceiver.

For detailed transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Cable and Port

Specifications”.

Ethernet Ports

The IPS module supports 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports. For more information about supported port types, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.
