DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-RF

Description

DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-RF is a Cisco 16-Gbps Fibre Channel Short-Wavelength (SW) SFP+ transceiver, provided as a Remanufactured (RF) unit. This optical module is designed for high-speed storage area network (SAN) connectivity, specifically for use with Cisco MDS 9000 Series multilayer switches.

Core Technical Specifications

• Type: Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver.

• Data Rate: Supports 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, and 4 Gbps auto-negotiation.

• Wavelength: 850 nm (Short-Wavelength).

• Fiber Type: Multimode Fiber (MMF).

• Connector: Dual LC/PC connector.

• Distance Support:

  • Up to 100 meters on OM3 fiber.

  • Up to 125 meters on OM4 fiber.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Hot-Swappable: We can install or replace this transceiver without powering down the switch, ensuring continuous operation for critical data center storage links.

• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Provides real-time access to operating parameters such as transceiver temperature, laser bias current, and optical transmit/receive power.

• Backward Compatibility: Automatically adjusts to 8-Gbps or 4-Gbps speeds to maintain connectivity with legacy SAN infrastructure.

• Reliability: As a Cisco-certified remanufactured (RF) component, it has been tested to meet the same stringent performance standards as a new module, ensuring low latency and high data integrity.

Strategic Benefits

• High-Density Storage: Ideal for connecting high-performance flash storage arrays and enterprise servers to the fabric, maximizing the throughput of your MDS switches.

• Cost Efficiency: Utilizing the RF model allows for a significant reduction in hardware costs when upgrading SAN infrastructure to 16G speeds without compromising on brand reliability.

• Optimized Performance: Specifically tuned for Cisco MDS platforms to ensure seamless integration and simplified management via Cisco DCNM (Data Center Network Manager).
