The Cisco CWDM-SFP-1530-RF (CWDM-SFP-1530-RF - Cisco 1Gb/s 1000Base-CWDM Single-Mode Fiber 80km 1530nm Duplex LC Connector SFP Transceiver Module) is a Transceiver component engineered for sustained enterprise-class workloads. This part addresses common procurement scenarios where exact-match replacement, capacity expansion, or new-build deployment is required. Technical specifications include capacity of 1 GB, data rate of 1 Gb/s, wavelength of 1530 nm, range of 80 km. Common deployment scenarios include data-center ToR (top-of-rack) switching, server-to-storage NAS/SAN connectivity, 10/25/40/100 GbE backbone aggregation, and edge router replacement in branch-office deployments. Pro Disk Network sources the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF through reputable distribution channels and applies a verification check against the OEM compatibility matrix before each unit is added to active inventory. Each unit ships from a US fulfillment hub (Hillsboro OR, Atlanta GA, or Phoenix AZ) with same-day dispatch on in-stock orders before 3pm ET. 90-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty included; free US ground shipping on orders over $150.

Quick Answer: Is the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF compatible with my switch?
Pro Disk Network validates every CWDM-SFP-1530-RF against the target switch's published compatibility matrix before shipment. If you let us know your switch model and firmware version, we will confirm fitment and code the module appropriately (Cisco-coded, Juniper-coded, HPE-coded, etc.) at no extra charge.
How fast does the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF ship?
If in stock, the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF ships same business day on US orders placed before 3 pm ET. Most US ZIP codes receive next-business-day or 2-day delivery via FedEx/UPS Ground or Express. Bulk and project orders shipping in pallets are typically dispatched within 24-48 hours.
The CWDM-SFP-1530-RF is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
Spine-Leaf Fabric — Top-of-rack 25G/100G aggregation between leaf and spine switches. Match speed and form factor across both endpoints.
Server Uplink — 10G/25G server-to-leaf uplink — pair with matching DAC or AOC at the host NIC to avoid optic mismatch.
DCI (Data Center Interconnect) — Inter-DC routing or aggregation. LR4/LR8 transceivers for 10–80 km, ER4 for 40 km, ZR4 for coherent long-haul.
Campus Distribution — Catalyst-class campus distribution between IDF and MDF closets. PoE+ where wireless APs and IP phones share infrastructure.
What is the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF?
The CWDM-SFP-1530-RF is a Cisco network interface module with capacity 1 GB and data rate 1 Gb/s, manufactured by Cisco. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3 PM ET, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.
Pros & Cons of CWDM-SFP-1530-RF
Pros
Matched-pair option for redundant link orders
Cabling and DAC/AOC labels clearly mark optic class
Cons
DAC cables capped at 7 m — use AOC or fibre for longer runs
SR optic vs LR optic confusion — verify before ordering
Refurbished tier optic does not include retail vendor packaging
Frequently Asked Questions about CWDM-SFP-1530-RF
Is the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF a genuine Cisco part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every CWDM-SFP-1530-RF as factory-original Cisco inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Cisco servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.
Is the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF compatible with my switch?
Pro Disk Network validates every CWDM-SFP-1530-RF against the target switch's published compatibility matrix before shipment. If you let us know your switch model and firmware version, we will confirm fitment and code the module appropriately (Cisco-coded, Juniper-coded, HPE-coded, etc.) at no extra charge.

Optic Coding, Vendor Lock-In, and Multi-Vendor Compatibility
Networking optics — SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28 — are physically interoperable across vendors but logically restricted by firmware coding. The CWDM-SFP-1530-RF is coded for a specific vendor family at our factory step before shipping, which preserves the OEM warranty workflow and allows the optic to be recognised without ‘service unsupported-transceiver’ CLI overrides. Mixing third-party optics with same-vendor optics in the same chassis is safe; mixing across vendor codings sometimes triggers warnings in the switch log.
Bandwidth Sizing for Spine-Leaf, EVPN-VXLAN, and Hyperconverged Storage
For EVPN-VXLAN overlays, the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF carries the underlay tunnels in addition to the workload traffic. Plan for VXLAN encapsulation overhead (50 bytes) plus MTU headroom; set the underlay MTU to 9216 (jumbo frames) and the overlay MTU to 9000. Make sure both the CWDM-SFP-1530-RF and the connected NICs support jumbo frames — some older NICs cap at 9000-byte payloads even when jumbo-enabled.
