About This Part
The ADC FWU-SMCW1550XVR is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver designed for high-performance data transmission in telecom and data centre environments. Operating at 2.5 Gigabit per second (2.5G), this module facilitates robust connectivity for applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, SONET OC-48, and SDH STM-16. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa, enabling network devices to communicate over optical fibre infrastructure. Typical use cases include long-haul metropolitan area networks, enterprise backbone connections, and data centre interconnects (DCI) where extended reach is critical. Key technical specifications for this SFP include its 1550nm wavelength, a standard choice for long-distance optical transmission due to lower fibre attenuation at this band. With an impressive reach of up to 80 kilometres, it is suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network segments without the need for intermediate signal amplification. The CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) CH55 designation indicates that this transceiver operates on a specific channel within a CWDM system, allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fibre pair, thereby maximizing fibre utilization and reducing infrastructure costs. Revo Distribution Limited proudly offers this ADC SFP transceiver as part of our extensive inventory of used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment. By providing high-quality, tested components like the FWU-SMCW1550XVR, we enable our B2B clients to maintain and upgrade their network infrastructure efficiently and cost-effectively. This particular SFP addresses the demand for reliable, long-reach 2.5G optical solutions, ensuring our customers can achieve optimal network performance and scalability with trusted, industry-standard hardware.
