10/100BASE-T SFPCisco CWDM-SFP-1270-20 Compatible 1G SFP Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing CWDM-SFP-1270-20, this HT-manufactured SFP module delivers 1G transmission at 1270nm. Its rated reach is 20km, with Duplex LC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support structured fiber installations preserve a documented and serviceable optical channel, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 1G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
For this 1270nm interface, verify channel spacing and filter compatibility. Passive filters add loss even without active equipment, so assess 20km using the complete channel rather than fiber distance alone.
Cisco Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for CWDM-SFP-1270-20 combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -5~0dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-24dBm; the stated optical power budget is 19dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Structured Fiber Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the transceiver as part of the complete channel. Follow the intended patch-panel route, maintain bend control and leave service access around the port. Confirm connector polish and fiber type at every mated pair; a documented service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 1000Mbps, wavelength 1270nm, rated reach 20km.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify CWDM-SFP-1270-20, CWDM-SFP-1270-20, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each CWDM-SFP-1270-20 compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Cisco transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies CWDM-SFP-1270-20, not an original Cisco-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 20km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
