HD-SDI CWDM SFP Optical Transceiver 1270-1610nm 80km MSA Compliant

Model: LNK-CWDM-SFP1G-XX80

 Product Description & Overview

The HD-SDI CWDM 1270~1610nm 80km Digital Video SFP Optical Transceiver (MSA) delivers an

exceptional solution for ultra-long-distance, high-definition video transmission across expansive

regional and metropolitan networks. This high-performance, MSA-compliant optical transceiver

leverages the complete 18-wavelength CWDM spectrum from 1270nm to 1610nm, enabling

operators to exponentially increase the bandwidth of existing single-mode fiber infrastructure

without the substantial cost and complexity of deploying new fiber strands. Engineered for

maximum reliability, it operates seamlessly across data rates from 50Mbps to 1.485Gbps and

is specifically designed to maintain robust signal integrity in the presence of demanding SDI

pathological patterns, fully compliant with SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, and SMPTE 292M

serial rate standards.

This transceiver sets a new benchmark for reach in HD-SDI applications, achieving a maximum

transmission distance of 80 kilometers over single-mode fiber while maintaining signal integrity at

1.5Gbps, even under pathological signal conditions. Its industry-standard, hot-pluggable SFP form

factor ensures effortless integration into a wide array of broadcast and professional video equipment,

including routers, switchers, and fiber optic extenders. The module incorporates advanced digital

diagnostics functionality, accessible through standard interfaces, allowing for real-time monitoring

of operational parameters such as optical power, temperature, and supply voltage, which is critical

for proactive maintenance in mission-critical, long-haul video links.

Certified and built to the highest industry standards, this transceiver is the ideal choice for applications

requiring the reliable transport of high-definition video over vast distances. Primary use cases include

connecting geographically dispersed broadcast facilities, establishing backbone links for large-scale

metropolitan surveillance networks, enabling regional sports broadcasting networks, and facilitating

high-quality video distribution for remote education or corporate networks. By choosing this transceiver,

system integrators and network managers gain a cost-effective, high-capacity, and future-proof solution

that maximizes their current fiber investment while delivering broadcast-grade performance for the most

demanding long-haul video transmission challenges.
