Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit Ethernet SFP optical transceiver designed for single-fiber links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. It is rated for a 40 km optical path, uses a single LC bidirectional (BiDi) interface, and transmits at 1550 nm while receiving at 1310 nm. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) can provide optical readings through compatible network hardware. Verify the complementary far-end transceiver, optical link budget and host SFP support before ordering.
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE is a 40 km non-hardened Gigabit SFP transceiver sold through Coremicro, a professional equipment retailer based in Union City, California. EtherWAN specifies 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, single LC connectivity, a 1550 nm transmit wavelength, a 1310 nm receive wavelength, DDM support, a 20 dB optical link budget, -3 to +2 dBm output power, and -23 dBm receiver sensitivity. The operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C. Coremicro shows Special Order and Authorized Dealer designations for this listing; confirm current availability, dealer status and applicable manufacturer warranty directly with Coremicro.
40 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
The manufacturer-rated 40 km reach supports long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Check attenuation, connector and splice losses, and spare optical margin for the installed route. Rated distance does not guarantee every fiber path.
1550 nm TX / 1310 nm RX BiDi Optics
This SFP transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm through one fiber strand. The remote side needs a compatible complementary optic, such as the EX-LS38-C3L-TC-N-CE with 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX. Verify full host and optical specifications before pairing modules.
Single LC Gigabit SFP Interface
The single LC connection carries transmit and receive signals over one single-mode fiber using different wavelengths. It is not interchangeable with a duplex LC transceiver without rechecking the cable plant, connector arrangement, host device and remote optic.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows supported switches and media converters to expose optical measurements used for link assessment and troubleshooting. Available diagnostics depend on the capabilities and software of the installed host hardware.
Non-Hardened 0°C to +70°C Operation
The TC model is a commercial-temperature transceiver rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Sites requiring a -40°C to +85°C hardened optic should evaluate the separately specified TI model, rather than assuming interchangeable temperature ratings.
20 dB Optical Link Budget
EtherWAN lists -3 to +2 dBm optical output power, -23 dBm receiver sensitivity, and a 20 dB link budget. Evaluate the loss and margin of the actual complementary BiDi link rather than relying on reach alone.

What is the EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE used for?
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit SFP transceiver for single-mode fiber links rated up to 40 km. It uses a single LC BiDi interface with 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths.
How far can this EtherWAN SFP transmit?
This EtherWAN SFP has a rated transmission distance of 40 km over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Actual reach depends on the optical budget, fiber losses, and compatible network hardware.
Which connector and wavelengths does the EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE use?
The EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE uses a single LC connector, transmits at 1550 nm, and receives at 1310 nm. A remote optic must provide compatible complementary wavelengths.
Does this 40 km SFP support DDM?
This 40 km SFP supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM). Diagnostic readings are available when the connected 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. Installations requiring -40°C to +85°C operation should use an appropriately rated hardened variant.
How does the EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE differ from the EX-LS38-C3L-TC-N-CE?
The EX-LS48-C3L-TC-N-CE transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm, while the EX-LS38-C3L-TC-N-CE reverses those wavelengths. Both are 40 km single LC DDM models; host compatibility and optical link requirements must still be checked.
Is Coremicro an authorized EtherWAN dealer?
Coremicro displays an Authorized Dealer designation on its listing for this EtherWAN SFP. Customers should confirm current authorization, pricing, stock, and manufacturer warranty coverage directly with Coremicro.
