Main features of the Cisco DWDM XFP include:

• The Cisco DWDM XFP supports 10GBASE Ethernet.

• The hot-swappable input/output device plugs into an Ethernet XFP port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network.

• The Cisco DWDM XFP supports the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature, which enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether or not the module is an XFP module certified and tested by Cisco.

• The Cisco DWDM XFP supports 32 nontunable ITU 100-GHz wavelengths compatible with the Cisco ONS DWDM(7300-NSE-100) channel plan.

• The Cisco DWDM XFP supports digital optical monitoring capability.

Platform Support

The Cisco DWDM XFPs are supported across a variety of Cisco switches, routers, and optical transport devices. For more details, refer to the Cisco wavelength-division multiplexing transceivers compatibility matrix
