Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE is a hardened Gigabit SFP optical transceiver for long-distance Ethernet links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. It supports a manufacturer-rated reach of 40 km using a single LC bidirectional (BiDi) connector, transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1550 nm. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) helps compatible network equipment report optical diagnostics, while the -40°C to +85°C operating range supports appropriately rated industrial installations. Verify host SFP support, the complementary remote optic and total link loss before ordering.
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE is a hardened Gigabit SFP module listed by Coremicro. EtherWAN specifies a 40 km reach over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, single LC connectivity, 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths, DDM, a 20 dB optical link budget, -3 to +2 dBm optical output power, -23 dBm receiver sensitivity and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Coremicro displays Special Order and Authorized Dealer designations for this model. Confirm pricing, current stock, fulfillment terms, warranty and host compatibility before purchasing.
40 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
The 40 km hardened Gigabit SFP rating supports long-reach links over compatible 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Confirm fiber attenuation, splice and connector losses, plus spare optical margin along the installed path.
1310 nm TX / 1550 nm RX BiDi Optics
This transceiver sends at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm across one fiber strand. The remote transceiver must have compatible complementary 1550 nm TX / 1310 nm RX wavelengths and suitable optical power characteristics.
Single LC Fiber Connector
A single LC interface carries bidirectional traffic using separate optical wavelengths. Check the installed single-mode fiber, connector configuration and supported Gigabit SFP host port before deployment.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
DDM support makes optical diagnostic readings available on compatible managed switches or media converters. Which measurements are accessible depends on the host hardware and its management functions.
Hardened -40°C to +85°C Operation
The TI variant is manufacturer-rated for -40°C to +85°C operating temperatures. The enclosure, switch, power components and complete installation must also meet the environmental requirements.
20 dB Optical Link Budget
EtherWAN specifies -3 to +2 dBm transmit power, -23 dBm receiver sensitivity and a 20 dB optical link budget. Assess the full optical path and available margin rather than relying on the 40 km distance rating alone.

What is the EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE used for?
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE is a hardened Gigabit SFP optical transceiver for single-mode fiber links rated up to 40 km. It uses a single LC BiDi connector with 1310 nm TX, 1550 nm RX and DDM support.
How far can this EtherWAN hardened SFP transmit?
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE has a rated optical reach of 40 km over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Actual link suitability depends on the total optical loss and compatible equipment.
Which wavelengths does the EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE use?
The EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm through one single LC connector. A compatible remote BiDi optic must use complementary 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths.
Does the EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE support DDM?
The EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM). The host switch or media converter must support access to the diagnostic readings.
Can the EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE operate in industrial temperatures?
The hardened EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Host equipment and enclosures must also meet the installation temperature requirements.
What is the difference between the EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE and EX-LS48-C3L-TI-N-CE?
The EX-LS38-C3L-TI-N-CE transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, while the EX-LS48-C3L-TI-N-CE reverses these wavelengths. Both are hardened 40 km single LC DDM modules, but the full optical specifications and host support must be checked before pairing.
