DWDM XENPAK transceivers are used as part of a DWDM 
optical network to provide high-capacity bandwidth across an 
optical fiber network. 

There are 32 fixed-wavelength XENPAK transceivers that 
support the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 
100 GHz wavelength grid. (See 

 for a list of the 

wavelengths.) 

Refer to your release notes for a list of compatible modules and 
the software release level necessary to support these DWDM

CWDM or DWDM transport network; there is no transmitter in 
the XENPAK. 

The receiver can be used for all wavelengths supported by Cisco 
DWDM XENPAK transceivers. 

The W/O WDM receiver has a single SC connector.
