Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE is a non-hardened Gigabit SFP optical transceiver for long-distance links over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Its single LC bidirectional (BiDi) interface transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm, with a manufacturer-rated reach of 60 km. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) supports optical diagnostics through compatible host equipment. Match the remote optic, SFP host requirements and complete optical link before purchasing.
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE is a 1GbE, non-hardened single-fiber SFP module available as a Special Order listing through Coremicro in Union City, California. EtherWAN specifies a 60 km distance, single LC connector, 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths, DDM support, a 23 dB optical link budget, -2 to +4 dBm output power and -25 dBm receiver sensitivity. The operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C. Coremicro displays an Authorized Dealer designation; confirm current price, authorization, stock, host compatibility and warranty terms directly with the seller.
60 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
The rated 60 km transmission distance supports planning Gigabit Ethernet links over compatible 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Fiber attenuation, splices, connectors and available optical margin must be checked for the entire route.
Single LC Bidirectional Connection
The single LC BiDi interface carries transmit and receive traffic on one fiber strand using different optical wavelengths. It is not interchangeable with a duplex LC transceiver without confirming the link design.
1550 nm TX / 1310 nm RX
This module transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm. The remote optic requires complementary 1310 nm TX / 1550 nm RX specifications, plus compatible speed, power levels and host support.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
DDM can make optical diagnostic readings available on compatible managed network devices. Actual measurements and monitoring options depend on the host equipment and its software.
Commercial-Temperature Operation
The non-hardened TC model is rated for 0°C to +70°C. Do not substitute it for a separately rated -40°C to +85°C hardened optic without verifying site conditions.
23 dB Optical Link Budget
EtherWAN specifies -2 to +4 dBm optical output and -25 dBm receiver sensitivity, with a listed 23 dB link budget. Check total path loss and reserve appropriate margin instead of assuming every 60 km route is viable.

What is the EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE used for?
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-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 connection and supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM).
How far can this EtherWAN 60 km SFP transmit?
This EtherWAN 60 km SFP is rated for 9/125 µm single-mode fiber links up to 60 km. Actual reach depends on the optical link budget, installed fiber losses and compatible equipment.
Which connector and wavelengths does the EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE use?
The EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE uses a single LC connector, transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm. The far-end optic must use complementary wavelengths and meet the required optical specifications.
Does the EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE support DDM?
The EtherWAN EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM). Diagnostic readings are accessible when the host switch or other network device supports them.
Can this EtherWAN SFP operate in hardened industrial temperatures?
This EtherWAN TC SFP is non-hardened and is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation. Installations requiring -40°C to +85°C optics need a separately rated hardened transceiver.
How does the EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE differ from the EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE?
The EX-LS48-C3U-TC-N-CE transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm, while the EX-LS38-C3U-TC-N-CE transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm. Both are listed for 60 km single LC Gigabit links, but host support and optical budgets must be verified before pairing them.
