Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

This coherent interface is suited to data-center interconnect, metro transport and managed DWDM links where the host platform supports the stated modulation and FEC modes. Design the optical line around the actual launch power, receiver range, OSNR requirement and span loss; the stated reach is not a substitute for a link-budget calculation. Use matching coherent modules and the appropriate DWDM channel plan at both ends.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 10G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP+ housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

Coherent deployment requires a line-system review, not merely a matching connector. Confirm the DWDM channel, launch-power range, receiver limits, OSNR and FEC mode at both ends. Span loss and amplifier operation must remain inside the supported envelope, and stated reach should be validated against the actual route.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is 0~4dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-23dBm. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Data-Center Optical Design and Airflow

Select the module by optical standard, reach and rack layout. Check the complete fiber channel, including panels and connectors, and keep dense bundles from blocking front-panel airflow. Account for listed power consumption and preserve enough space to remove a module without disturbing adjacent links. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, wavelength 1470nm, rated reach 80km.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify CWDM-SFP10G-80L, CWDM-SFP10G-80L, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Broadcom Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected CWDM-SFP10G-80L identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
