100GBase-SWDM Transceivers
Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing
The Solution for Connecting 100GB Devices over Duplex Multimode Fiber
The SWDM MSA was agreed upon in 2015 to promote the use of high speed data transmission over multimode fiber. This technology works similar to CWDM4 and LR4, but for multimode fiber. The SWDM transceiver uses 4x independent 25GB lasers (850nm, 880nm, 910nm, 940nm), bringing them together into a single duplex LC
The LC is the most common of the legacy optical interfaces used in high volume networking applications today. Click to Read More connection. There are many advantages to this:
- Utilization of existing Duplex LC infrastructure
LC to LC vs Expensive 12-fiber MTP wiring
- Full DOMDigital Optical Monitoring (DOM) is an industry standard that allows for real-time monitoring of transceiver operating parameters, such as: optical transmission power, optical receiving power, operating temperature, current and voltage. Click to Read More capabilities
Unlike BiDiBi-Directional (BiDi) Transceiver is a compact optical transceiver module that uses WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology . Bi-Directional technology means a communication mode that processes data in both directions. Click to Read More options which do not allow for DOM
- Longer link distances than BD
150M over OM5 MMF, 100M over OM4 MMF, 75M over OM3 MMF
- Lower power dissipation than BD solutions
1.5W for SWDM, 3.5W for BiDi
