HD-SDI CWDM SFP Optical Transceiver 1270-1610nm 40km MSA Compliant

Model: LNK-CWDM-SFP1G-XX40

 Product Description & Overview

The HD-SDI CWDM 1270~1610nm 40km Digital Video SFP Optical Transceiver (MSA) delivers

exceptional performance for extended-range high-definition video transmission across metropolitan

and regional networks. This advanced MSA-compliant optical transceiver supports the complete 18-

wavelength CWDM spectrum from 1270nm to 1610nm, enabling significant bandwidth multiplication

over existing single-mode fiber infrastructure without requiring additional fiber deployment. Engineered

for reliable operation across data rates from 50Mbps to 1.485Gbps, the module maintains superior signal

integrity when processing challenging SDI pathological patterns, ensuring robust performance for SMPTE

259M, SMPTE 344M, and SMPTE 292M compliant video applications.

Featuring extended reach capabilities, this digital video SFP transceiver achieves transmission distances

up to 40 kilometers while maintaining 1.5Gbps signal quality, making it particularly suitable for distributed

video networks spanning multiple facilities. The hot-pluggable SFP form factor ensures seamless integration

with broadcast routers, video extenders, and media conversion equipment, while the precision-tuned DFB

transmitter technology provides exceptional wavelength stability across varying environmental conditions.

The integrated digital diagnostics monitoring through I2C interface enables comprehensive performance

tracking and preventive maintenance, essential for mission-critical broadcast and surveillance operations.

Certified for professional deployment, this optical transceiver meets all relevant industry standards for safe

and reliable operation in demanding environments. The extended 40km transmission distance makes it

ideal for metropolitan-area video distribution, large-scale surveillance networks, regional broadcast links,

and distributed education systems requiring high-quality video transmission across significant geographical

areas. This solution enables system integrators and network operators to maximize their existing fiber

investments while achieving broadcast-grade video performance across extended distances, providing a

cost-effective and technologically advanced approach to high-density video transport in next-generation

professional video applications.
