The JDSU CT2 Series 2.5 Gb/s Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(CWDM) transceiver integrates optics and electronics in a Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) package. It is Multisource Agreement (MSA) compatible and
designed for CWDM operation per ITU-T G.695 for unidirectional 8 channel
black-link transmission (S-C8S1-1DX and S-C8L1-1DX). Although optimized
for 2.5 Gb/s, the CT2 provides multi-rate capabilities and can be used for various
protocols ranging from OC-3 (155 Mb/s) up to 2.7 Gb/s including 622 Mb/s,
1x/2x FC, GbE and 2x GbE.
The CT2 Series CWDM SFP transceiver provides a fully G.695 8 channel black-
link compliant interface between the optical Mux/Demux photonic layer and the
electrical layer. Its microprocessor-based modular design implements all features
specified in the SFP MSA compatible 2-wire Serial Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
Interface for Optical Transceivers.
The major components in this module include an uncooled distributed feedback
(DFB) based optical transmitter, a PIN or APD based optical receiver with
integrated transimpedence amplifier (TIA), an APD high voltage circuit (if
required), a microprocessor, a limiting post amplifier, and a laser driver. This
CWDM transceiver design offers a "hot-pluggable" interface and is available in
short haul (40 km, PIN) and long haul (80 km, APD) configurations.

Transceiver Pin Descriptions
Pin Description
TD Un-clocked, multirate, differential serial bit stream (155 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s) used to drive the optical transmitter.
TDb Internally AC coupled and terminated via internal 100 differential impedence.
RD Differential received electrical signal capable of detecting 155 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s bit patterns.
RDb The differential pair is internally biased and AC coupled. This signal requires 100 external differential termination.
Rate_select Internally monitored and available for future use. Can be customized for specific applications.
TxDIS Transmitter Disable Input. A logic HIGH on this input pin disables the transmitter's laser so that there is no optical
output. If left open the transmitter will be disabled.
LOS Loss of Signal (Open Collector). A logic HIGH on this output indicates an incoming signal level that is less than -25 dBm
but no greater than -31 dBm for the 40 km configuration and less than -34 dBm but no greater than -40 dBm for the
80 km configuration. LOS shall deassert (logic LOW) when a 3 dB (maximum), 0.5 dB (minimum) hysteresis is obtained.
Tx_fault Transmitter fault (Open collector). A logic HIGH indicates that the transmitter is in a fault condition.
MOD_DEF(0) MOD_DEF(0) is internally grounded to indicate the presence of the module. Must be pulled-up on host board with
10 Kresistor.
MOD_DEF(1) MOD_DEF(1) is the clock of the 2 wire interface for module monitoring.
MOD_DEF(2) MOD_DEF(2) is the data line of the 2 wire interface for module monitoring.
