SFP Transceiver Specifications
This appendix provides cabling specifications for the SFP transceivers supported on the Cisco ME 6500
Ethernet switch. Figure B-1 shows an optical SFP transceiver with the major features labeled. Figure B-2
shows an SFP transceiver that uses Category 5, 5e, 6, or 6a copper network interface cable.
Note
Each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable. For reliable
communications, the cable must not exceed the required cable length.

1. A mode-conditioning patch cord, as specified by the IEEE standard, is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP
transceivers, and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP
transceiver with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP transceiver and the MMF cable on
both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).
2. ITU-T G.652 SMF as specified by the IEEE 802.3z standard.
3. Single-strand SMF.
4. CWDM SFP transceivers are supported on uplink ports only.
5. DWDM SFP transceivers are supported on uplink ports only.

The maximum Rx indicates the overload threshold of the receiver. The minimum Rx indicates the lowest
acceptable signal level coming into the receiver that allows correct signal recognition.

You can use any combination of SFP modules that your Cisco device supports. The only restrictions are
that each SFP port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable and that the
cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs are hot-swappable, transceiver
components that you plug into SFP-compatible uplink ports. The CWDM SFP transceiver uses an LC
optical connector to connect to single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) cable. You can connect the CWDM SFPs
to CWDM passive optical system optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) modules or
multiplexer/demultiplexer plug-in modules using single-mode fiber-optic cables. Table B-5 lists the
color code and the laser operating wavelength for each of the CWDM SFP transceivers.
Note
CWDM SFP transceivers are supported on the chassis uplink ports only.

DWDM SFP 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 DWDM SFPs that support the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) 100-GHz wavelength grid. The DWDM SFP
transceivers have a duplex SC connector.
Note
DWDM SFP transceivers are supported on the chassis uplink ports only.
Note
Only connections using patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords using APC
connectors are not supported.
Table B-6 lists the part number, laser wavelength, and ITU channel number for each of the DWDM SFP
transceivers.
