The JDSU C8542 is a 10 Gigabit LAN/WAN pluggable optical transceiver operating at 1310 nm. The dual LAN and WAN rating lets it carry either 10 Gigabit Ethernet or an OC-192/STM-64 payload, which is what made these modules useful on equipment sitting between an enterprise network and a transport link. At 1310 nm it is a short-reach optic in transport terms, intended for single-mode spans within a site or between nearby buildings.
Pluggable optics of this generation are broadly interchangeable within their standard, but host platforms often check the module’s identity data, so confirm the vendor coding your equipment expects.
