Product Overview
The EtherWAN SFPTIS20C 10G Single-Mode SFP Transceiver provides high-speed optical connectivity for compatible 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches and networking equipment. Featuring 1310 nm optics and a duplex LC connector, the module supports 9/125-micron single-mode fiber connections up to 20 kilometers. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) enables supported host equipment to access optical transceiver diagnostic information. With a non-hardened operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and a nominal 9.4 dB optical link budget, the SFPTIS20C is designed for professional fiber networking installations operating within suitable environmental conditions.
The EtherWAN SFPTIS20C is a non-hardened 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver in EtherWAN's 10GBASE SFP Series. It uses 9/125-micron single-mode fiber, a 1310 nm optical wavelength, and a duplex LC connector with separate transmit and receive fiber paths. Maximum rated transmission distance is 20 km, approximately 12.4 miles. EtherWAN specifies optical output power from -5 to +1 dBm and receiver sensitivity of -14.4 dBm, corresponding to a nominal optical link budget of 9.4 dB. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring is supported, and operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +70°C. EtherWAN's SFP Series specifications also identify a single +3.3V supply, SFP MSA compliance, Class 1 laser safety, and RoHS-compliant construction. The related SFPTIS20M offers hardened -40°C to +85°C operation. Installation requires compatible 10G SFP+ host equipment, suitable optical transceivers at both endpoints, and fiber losses within the available power budget.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Optical Connectivity
The SFPTIS20C supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical transmission through compatible SFP+ networking equipment. Its modular optical interface allows supported network switches and infrastructure devices to establish high-speed fiber connections between separate locations. The transceiver is intended for 10GbE operation rather than conventional Gigabit-only SFP ports. Verify host compatibility, supported module types, and port-speed requirements before installation.
Up to 20 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
EtherWAN rates the SFPTIS20C for transmission distances up to 20 kilometers over 9/125-micron single-mode fiber. This extended reach supports compatible network connections between geographically separated equipment locations. Actual achievable distance depends on fiber attenuation, connector and splice losses, remote transceiver specifications, and the available optical power budget. Engineers should verify the complete fiber route before planning a connection at the maximum rated distance.
1310 nm Single-Mode Optical Transmission
The module operates at a 1310 nm optical wavelength and is specified for 9/125-micron single-mode fiber. This optical configuration supports the manufacturer's rated 20 km reach when used with compatible network equipment and a suitable fiber link. It is not designed for multimode fiber or 850 nm optical connections. Both endpoints should use compatible optical interfaces, wavelengths, and receiver power characteristics.
Duplex LC Fiber Interface
The SFPTIS20C features a duplex LC connector with separate transmit and receive optical paths. This two-fiber configuration works with suitable single-mode LC patch cables and compatible optical networking devices. Unlike single-fiber bidirectional transceivers, it requires two fiber strands for a complete link. Installers should verify fiber polarity, connector cleanliness, and matching optical specifications at both ends before commissioning.
DDM Diagnostics and 9.4 dB Optical Link Budget
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring enables supported host equipment to access optical transceiver diagnostic information. EtherWAN specifies transmit power from -5 to +1 dBm and receiver sensitivity of -14.4 dBm, resulting in a nominal 9.4 dB optical link budget based on minimum transmit power. Network engineers should account for fiber attenuation, connector losses, splice losses, receiver input limits, and appropriate engineering margin. The availability of individual DDM readings depends on the host device and its management software.
Non-Hardened 0°C to +70°C Operation
The SFPTIS20C operates from 0°C to +70°C and belongs to EtherWAN's non-hardened 10G transceiver range. Its related hardened model, SFPTIS20M, is specified for -40°C to +85°C operation. Both models share the manufacturer's listed 20 km reach, 1310 nm wavelength, duplex LC connection, and DDM support. Choose the version appropriate for the installation temperature and verify that the host switch and other components satisfy their own environmental requirements.

What is the EtherWAN SFPTIS20C used for?
The EtherWAN SFPTIS20C is a non-hardened 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver designed for compatible single-mode fiber networks. It uses 1310 nm optics and a duplex LC connector, supporting rated transmission distances up to 20 km.
How far can the SFPTIS20C transmit over single-mode fiber?
EtherWAN specifies a maximum rated distance of 20 kilometers over 9/125-micron single-mode fiber. Actual reach depends on cable attenuation, connector and splice losses, compatible equipment at both ends, and sufficient optical operating margin.
Which optical wavelength and connector does the SFPTIS20C use?
The SFPTIS20C operates at 1310 nm and uses a duplex LC connector. The duplex configuration requires two fiber strands, one for transmission and one for reception, using suitable 9/125-micron single-mode cabling.
What are the optical power and link budget specifications?
EtherWAN specifies optical transmit power from -5 to +1 dBm and receiver sensitivity of -14.4 dBm. These values provide a nominal optical link budget of 9.4 dB based on minimum transmit power. Fiber attenuation, connectors, splices, and appropriate engineering margin must be considered when designing the link.
Does the EtherWAN SFPTIS20C support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring?
Yes. EtherWAN lists Digital Diagnostic Monitoring support for the SFPTIS20C. DDM provides transceiver diagnostic capabilities when supported by the connected switch or networking device and its management interface.
What is the difference between SFPTIS20C and SFPTIS20M?
The SFPTIS20C is non-hardened and operates from 0°C to +70°C, while the hardened SFPTIS20M operates from -40°C to +85°C. Both models are listed for 20 km single-mode fiber connections using 1310 nm optics, duplex LC interfaces, and DDM. Select the version that meets the temperature specifications of the intended installation.
Can the SFPTIS20C be used in any SFP or SFP+ switch?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. The host equipment must support the specific 10G optical transceiver, its electrical interface, and the required operating speed. Confirm the switch or media converter model, supported transceiver list, remote optical equipment, and fiber link requirements before installation.
