DS-SFP-FC16G-SW Cisco Transceiver Module Overview

Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-SW Compatible SFP+ 16G Fibre Channel 850nm 100m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module. The Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-SW is a 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module designed for high-speed data transfer in storage area networks (SANs). This short-wavelength (SW) transceiver provides reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity over multimode fiber (MMF), ideal for data centers and enterprise storage systems.

DS-SFP-FC16G-SW SFP+ Module – Technical Specifications:

• Data Rate: Supports a data transmission rate of up to 16 Gbps, making it ideal for 16G Fibre Channel applications. It is also backward compatible with 8 Gbps and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel standards, offering flexibility in different environments.
• Transmission Distance: Up to 100 meters over OM3 multimode fiber (MMF) and Up to 125 meters over OM4 multimode fiber (MMF).
• Wavelength: Operates at an 850 nm wavelength, which is optimal for short-range transmission over multimode fiber.
• Connector Type: Uses an LC duplex connector, which is standard for fiber optic connections.
• Hot-Swappable: The module is hot-swappable, allowing easy installation and replacement without network downtime.
• Backward Compatibility: Supports auto-negotiation to 8 Gbps and 4 Gbps, enabling it to work with a wide range of Fibre Channel switches and devices operating at lower speeds.
• Fiber Type: Designed for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables, typically found in data centers and SAN environments.
• Low Power Consumption: Ensures energy-efficient operation, reducing the power burden on data centers and minimizing heat output.
• Operating Temperature: Works in standard temperature ranges typically between 0°C and 70°C (32°F and 158°F), making it suitable for data center environments.
• Compliance: Complies with Fibre Channel (FC-PI-5) standards and is interoperable with other devices following the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards.

Advantages of DS-SFP-FC16G-SW over Other SFP Modules:

• High Speed (16Gbps): Supports 16Gbps Fibre Channel, enabling high-performance data transfer, ideal for storage networks.
• Shortwave (850nm): Designed for short-distance transmission (up to 125 meters on OM4 fiber), making it perfect for data centers and storage connections.
• Cisco Compatibility: Fully compatible with Cisco equipment, ensuring seamless integration with Cisco MDS switches and other Cisco devices.
• Reliability: Built with Cisco’s high-quality standards, ensuring stability and performance in critical environments.
