Figure 10. Cisco CWDM Extended Distance SFP Solution
The Cisco CWDM SFP solution enables the transport of up to eight channels over one pair of single-mode fiber
strands, enabling enterprises to increase the bandwidth of an existing optical infrastructure without adding new fiber
strands. The solution can be used in parallel with other Cisco SFP devices on the same platform.
Figure 12 shows a common point-to-point deployment scenario for the Cisco MDS 9000 family using the Cisco
CWDM SFP solution. Two endpoints are directly connected through a fiber link. The Cisco CWDM SFP solution
enables customers to add or drop up to eight channels onto a pair of single-mode fiber strands. As a result, the need
for additional fiber is reduced. Redundant point-to-point links can be implemented by adding or dropping redundant
channels onto a second pair of single-mode fiber strands.
