Questions & Answers
What is the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module?
The DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 is a passive dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical filter operating at ITU channel 38 (1538.98 nm) with 100 GHz spacing in the X2 form factor.
Which optical band does the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module support?
It supports the C-band wavelength range and specifically filters the 1538.98 nm channel at 100 GHz ITU grid spacing.
What are the key specifications of the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module?
Key specs include ≤1.2 dB insertion loss, ≥40 dB non-adjacent channel isolation, ≥30 dB adjacent channel isolation and ≥45 dB return loss over −5 °C to +75 °C.
Which devices are compatible with the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module?
This module is compatible with X2-slot DWDM multiplexers, Cisco ONS/15454, Ciena 5400/6500, Juniper M10-M40 and other 100 GHz ITU-grid platforms.
How do I install the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module?
Slide the X2 module into any empty compatible slot on your DWDM multiplexer or add-drop line card; it requires no software configuration and is hot-swappable.
Can I hot-swap the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module in a live network?
Yes. The module is designed for hot-swap installation, allowing safe insertion or removal without powering down the system.
What fiber type is recommended for use with this module?
Use standard single-mode fiber (G.652.D) with APC or UPC connectors to minimize reflections and ensure optimal performance.
What is the typical power budget when using this module?
With insertion loss ≤1.2 dB per filter, a link budget of 20–30 dB is achievable when combined with standard DWDM transceivers and amplifiers.
How does the 100 GHz ITU grid benefit my network?
100 GHz spacing increases channel density, supports up to 96 channels per fiber, and maximizes spectral efficiency in metro and long-haul networks.
How can I order the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module by SKU?
Specify SKU DWDM-X2-38.98 when placing your order through our sales portal, email, or authorized distribution partners.
What is the lead time and availability for this module?
Standard stock is available for immediate shipment with a lead time of 1–2 business days; larger volumes may require up to 5–7 business days.
What warranty and support are provided?
We offer a 3-year warranty covering defects and lifetime technical support including configuration guidance and troubleshooting.
Are custom channel plans available?
Yes. We can supply custom-configured X2 modules across any 100 GHz ITU channel upon request with minimum order quantities.
How do I verify performance after installation?
Use an optical spectrum analyzer or OTDR to confirm insertion loss, channel isolation and wavelength accuracy at 1538.98 nm.
What packaging options are available for shipment?
Modules ship in single-unit antistatic trays or 10-unit rack trays with full ESD protection and silica desiccant for moisture control.
What are the main benefits of the DWDM-X2-1538.98nm X2 module?
It delivers high channel density, low loss filtering, plug-and-play installation and broad vendor compatibility for scalable fiber networks.
