Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tunable SFP28 transceiver and how does it benefit DWDM networks?
A tunable SFP28 transceiver allows dynamic wavelength selection within the C-Band, enabling operators to adjust channel assignments without hardware replacement. This flexibility reduces inventory costs and simplifies network reconfiguration for DWDM deployments requiring frequent wavelength changes or channel optimization.
Is the Axiom TSFP28-LC-AX compatible with existing network equipment?
Yes. The TSFP28-LC-AX is 100% MSA compatible, meaning it meets industry-standard specifications for SFP28 modules. It integrates seamlessly into any standards-compliant SFP28 port without requiring firmware updates or specialized drivers, provided your equipment supports 25GBASE-DWDM protocols.
What transmission distance does the TSFP28-LC-AX support over single-mode fiber?
The module supports up to 15km of transmission distance over standard single-mode fiber (SMF), making it ideal for metro networks, campus interconnects, and short-to-medium haul applications where extended reach is not required.
How does 100GHz channel spacing improve network capacity?
100GHz channel spacing in the C-Band allows more wavelengths to be packed into the same frequency range compared to wider spacing (e.g., 200GHz). This dense wavelength division multiplexing capability enables higher aggregate bandwidth on a single fiber pair, maximizing network throughput and ROI on fiber infrastructure.
