Questions & Answers
What is the CWDM-GBIC-1610 module?
The CWDM-GBIC-1610 is a hot-pluggable 1000BASE-CWDM GBIC transceiver operating at 1610 nm over single-mode fiber, compliant with IEEE 802.3z for Gigabit Ethernet.
Which applications are ideal for the 1000BASE-CWDM 1610 nm GBIC?
This module is ideal for campus backbones, metro aggregation and data-center interconnects requiring cost-effective, point-to-multipoint Gigabit Ethernet links.
What is the maximum link distance of the CWDM-GBIC-1610?
Over standard single-mode fiber (SMF), the CWDM-GBIC-1610 supports distances up to 80 km, depending on fiber quality and channel count.
Is the 1610 nm CWDM GBIC compatible with third-party switches?
Yes. The module is vendor-neutral, fully MSA-compliant, and interoperates with all major switch and router brands supporting GBIC slots.
Which fiber type and connector does the CWDM-GBIC-1610 support?
It supports single-mode fiber (SMF) with an SC simplex connector on the host transceiver interface.
How do I install the CWDM-GBIC-1610 in my network device?
Simply align and insert the module into an available GBIC slot until it latches. Then attach the SC-terminated single-mode fiber patch-cord to the transceiver port.
Can I hot-swap the 1000BASE-CWDM 1610 nm GBIC module?
Yes. The module supports hot swapping; you can insert or remove it without powering down the host device, ensuring zero downtime.
What optical power budget does the CWDM-GBIC-1610 offer?
Typical transmit power ranges from –5 to –1 dBm, with receiver sensitivity down to –18 dBm, delivering a power budget of up to 17 dB.
