Introduction
The Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Gigabit
Interface Converter (GBIC)/Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
solution allows enterprise companies and service providers to
provide scalable and easy-to-deploy Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre
Channel services in their networks. The product set helps enable
the flexible design of highly available, multiservice networks. The
Cisco CWDM GBIC/SFP solution is a convenient and cost-effective
solution for the adoption of Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel in
campus, data-center, and metropolitan-area access networks. The
Cisco CWDM GBIC/SFP solution has two main components: a set of
eight different pluggable transceivers (Cisco CWDM GBICs and Cisco
CWDM SFPs), and a set of different Cisco CWDM passive
multiplexer/demultiplexer or optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs).
A Cisco CWDM chassis enables rack-mounting up to two of the Cisco
CWDM passives.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Scalability
-
The Cisco CWDM
GBIC/SFP solution helps enable the transport of
up to eight channels (Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre
Channel) over single-mode fiber strands.
-
Easy Deployment and
Flexible Implementation
-
The Cisco CWDM GBIC
(and Cisco CWDM SFP) fits into a standard GBIC
(and SFP) port supporting the IEEE 802.3z
standard on the supported Cisco Systems
platforms. The Cisco CWDM OADM is passive and
requires no power. Neither the Cisco CWDM GBIC
(nor Cisco CWDM SFP) nor the Cisco CWDM
passives requires configuration.
-
The Cisco CWDM
GBIC/SFP solution allows for a variety of
network configurations-from multichannel
point-to-point to hub and meshed-ring
configurations.
-
High
Availability
-
The Cisco CWDM GBIC/SFP
solution takes advantage of a multichannel architecture
and the inherent protection of ring architectures. The
solution helps enable:
-
Use of Layer 2 and
Layer 3 redundancy and failover mechanisms at
the channel endpoints (Cisco CWDM GBIC/SFP) to
build highly available links
-
Use of two-path
link configurations in a ring architecture to
provide protection from fiber cuts
-
Investment
Protection
-
The Cisco CWDM
GBIC/SFP solution helps enable enterprises and
service providers to increase the bandwidth of
an existing Gigabit Ethernet optical
infrastructure without adding new fiber
strands. The solution can be used in parallel
with other Cisco GBIC and SFP devices on the
same platform.
