Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit SFP optical transceiver for long-distance links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. It provides a manufacturer-rated reach of 60 km with a single LC bidirectional (BiDi) optical connection, transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1550 nm. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) supports optical measurements through compatible network equipment. Confirm the far-end optic, host SFP support and total fiber-path loss before purchase.
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit SFP transceiver listed by Coremicro. EtherWAN specifies 60 km single-mode fiber reach, a single LC interface, 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths, DDM, a 24 dB optical link budget, 0 to +5 dBm output power and -24 dBm receiver sensitivity. The operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C. Coremicro displays Special Order and Authorized Dealer designations on its listing. Verify host compatibility, pricing, current authorization, stock and manufacturer warranty coverage directly with Coremicro.
60 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
The manufacturer-rated 60 km reach supports long-distance Gigabit Ethernet fiber links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Verify fiber attenuation, connector and splice losses, and sufficient optical margin for the entire installed route.
1310 nm TX / 1550 nm RX BiDi Optics
The transceiver transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm over one fiber strand. Use a compatible far-end transceiver with complementary 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths, and verify the complete optical path.
Single LC Gigabit SFP Interface
A single LC connector carries bidirectional signals on one single-mode fiber using different wavelengths. Check the host Gigabit SFP port, installed fiber arrangement, and remote module rather than assuming a connector match guarantees compatibility.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows supported network switches and media converters to expose available optical diagnostics. The actual readings depend on the host hardware and its management interface.
Non-Hardened 0°C to +70°C Operation
The TC transceiver is specified for commercial operating temperatures of 0°C to +70°C. Installations requiring -40°C to +85°C hardened performance should use a separately specified industrial-temperature SFP.
24 dB Optical Link Budget
EtherWAN lists a 24 dB optical link budget, 0 to +5 dBm output power and -24 dBm receiver sensitivity. Calculate the full link loss and retain margin; the nominal 60 km reach is not a guarantee for every installed fiber route.

What is the EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE used for?
The EtherWAN EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit SFP transceiver for single-mode fiber links rated up to 60 km. It uses a single LC BiDi connector and supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM).
How far can this EtherWAN Gigabit SFP transmit?
This EtherWAN Gigabit SFP has a manufacturer-rated reach of 60 km over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Actual distance depends on fiber attenuation, total connector and splice loss, available optical margin and compatible equipment.
Which wavelengths and connector does the EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE use?
The EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm through a single LC connector. A compatible far-end BiDi optic must use complementary 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths.
Does the EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE support DDM?
The EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM). Optical readings are available only when the host switch or media converter exposes them.
Can this EtherWAN TC SFP operate at hardened industrial temperatures?
This EtherWAN TC SFP is non-hardened and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Applications requiring -40°C to +85°C optics need a separately rated hardened model.
How does the EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE differ from the EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE?
The EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, while the EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm. Both are rated for 60 km single-mode fiber, but their optical power specifications differ; verify host support and optical budgets before pairing them.
Is Coremicro an authorized EtherWAN dealer?
Coremicro displays an Authorized Dealer designation on its EtherWAN product listing. Buyers should confirm current authorization, product availability, warranty eligibility and support terms directly with Coremicro.
