Long-Distance, High-Bandwidth Transport Configuration
shows a configuration for sending 8 Gigabits of data over a single fiber-optic cable. The
Catalyst 3560 switches have coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) fiber-optic SFP
modules installed. Depending on the CWDM SFP module, data is sent at wavelengths from 1470 to
1610 nm. The higher the wavelength, the farther the transmission can travel. A common wavelength used
for long-distance transmissions is 1550 nm.
modules installed. Depending on the CWDM SFP module, data is sent at wavelengths from 1470 to
1610 nm. The higher the wavelength, the farther the transmission can travel. A common wavelength used
for long-distance transmissions is 1550 nm.
The CWDM SFP modules connect to CWDM optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) modules over
distances of up to 393,701 feet (74.5 miles or 120 km). The CWDM OADM modules combine (or
multiplex) the different CWDM wavelengths, allowing them to travel simultaneously on the same
fiber-optic cable. The CWDM OADM modules on the receiving end separate (or demultiplex) the
different wavelengths.
