Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW Compatible 8G SFP+ SW Fibre Channel Optical Transceiver Module | HYTOPTODEVICE

The Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW Compatible SFP+ Transceiver is a high-performance, cost-effective module designed for 8G/4G/2G Fibre Channel (8GFC) storage area network (SAN) applications. It operates at a nominal wavelength of 850nm over Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) with Duplex LC connector, reaching distances up to 300 meters via OM3 cabling.with full DDM/DOM monitoring support.   

Each module is strictly tested in-house on Cisco MDS series platforms to ensure 100% compatibility and seamless integration. This "Plug-and-Play" hot-swappable transceiver provides an ideal alternative to high-cost OEM optics without sacrificing reliability or performance.

This fibre channel module is guaranteed compatible with the following Cisco MDS 9000 Series and Nexus equipment:

• Storage Area Networks (SAN): Connecting servers to storage arrays in high-speed 8G Fibre Channel environments.

• Data Center Infrastructure: Interconnecting Cisco MDS switches within racks or across rows.

• Fiber Channel Fabric: Ideal for high-availability database clusters and backup systems.

• Enterprise Storage: Optimized for low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfers in Tier-1 storage environments.

FAQ for 100G  QSFP28 SR4 Optical Module

Q1:What is SFP+ 80G SW module? A:The 8G SW is a hot pluggable optical transceiver module.It is typically built in a  SFP+ form factor, uses a multimode fiber (MMF)  to transmit distance up to 300m 850nm wavelength. 

Q2:What is the maximum distance for the DS-SFP-FC8G-SW? ?A:HYTOPTODEVICE SFP+8G SW module supports the maxium transmitting distance of up to 300m.

Q3:What fiber connector is required for the 8G fibre channel transceiver?A:The fibre channel module uses LC Duplex connector with MMF.

Q4:Does this 8G fibre channel SFP+ module support DOM?A:Yes, it supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for real-time monitoring, allowing monitoring of optical power,laser bias current,temperature and voltage.

Q5:Does this SFP+ support 10G Ethernet?A: No.The DS-SFP-FC8G-SW module is specifically designed for Fibre Channel protocols (2/4/8GFC). For Ethernet, you would need an SFP-10G-SR.

Q6:What is the maximum distance for the DS-SFP-FC8G-SW? It supports up to 300m on OM3 MMF. On older OM2 fiber, the distance is approximately 100m.

Q7:Q: What are the technical differences between 8G Sw vs 10G SR? A: Their data rate is different, transmission distance is different. the there is different application. 8G SW is for fibre channel & SAN, 10G SR for Ethernet.

Q8:Is this 8G SW module compatible with 4G and 2G systems? A:Yes, it features auto-negotiation and is fully backwards compatible with 4GFC and 2GFC devices.

 Q9:What is the difference between SW and LW? A:SW  means Short-Wavelength, it uses 850nm for short distances over multi-mode fiber. LW  refer to Long-Wavelength, Using 1310nm for long distances over single-mode fiber.

Q10:What is the operating temperature range? The standard commercial temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
