The ONS-XC-10G-C is simply an XFP 10GB FFPM (Form Factor Pluggable Module) transceiver that has been designed to operate over the DFSMF (Double Fiber Single-Mode Fiber) optical cable. It has a guaranteed minimum budget of about 22dB which in most cases is capable of reaching a distance of over 80 kilometers. While this transceiver has been designed to come with a top-quality monolithic tunable laser transmitter, it also supports the DOM and the DDM optical diagnostic. It helps in the provision of diagnostic information about the current operating system.
It has been described as a multiple purpose module that is used in different sections of networking. It has been designed to provide an advanced or superior way of building high availability connections in certain high-speed areas.
Specification
- It is an XFP type of module
- It is compatible with Cisco
- It has a wavelength of ITU 50Ghz Grid
- It is an SMF (Single-Mode Fiber) media type
- It has an optical budget of about 22 dB

- It supports the DOM and DDM optical diagnostics
- It has a minimum and maximum transmitting power of -1 dB and 3 dB respectively.
- Some of the supported applications include; Ethernet 10G, 10G Fiber Channel, etc.
Benefits
Being a compatible variant, some of the main benefits of this hardware product include;
- Low cost; it is way cheaper than the others. While the model and its popularity have a role to play, most of the other products are about 50% to over 100% more expensive than the ONS-XC-10G-C. While is cheaper, it is advised that you do not buy an ONS-XC-10G-C product that the quality suffers.
- Standardized production; with this hardware product, you do not have to worry about incompatibilities. Additionally, this product meets all industry standards, communication regulations, and norms.
- Compatible programming; this hardware product is compatible with almost all programming types. While this product is compatible, it is advised that you bear in mind that incorrect programming is capable of leading to a total or complete lack of function. That is why it is of utmost importance that you lookout for a trusted supplier when buying this hardware product. One of the interesting facts about this product is that it can be adapted in such a manner that other module types with separate specifications can be used in the enabling of special applications.
Downsides
- Poor processing; quite a number of these products have been found to have a low or slow processing speed.
- Another major downside of this product is that there are certain toxic substances found that are not in total compliance with the regulations of the land.
Recommendations
While this product has certain major downsides, it is still one of the best XFP transceiver products out there.
