Glasvezel-transceivermodule Cisco DS-SFP-FC32G-SW=

The Cisco DS-SFP-FC32G-SW is a fibre channel SFP+ transceiver module designed for 8/16/32-Gbps ports on Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this shortwave device provides auto-sensing 8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity in a compact SFP+ form factor suitable for SAN and high-speed storage networking environments.

Advantages

The transceiver supports multimode shortwave operation at 850 nm and autosensing of 8, 16, or 32 Gbps link speeds, enabling backward compatibility with lower-rate Fibre Channel devices. Its SFP+ form factor offers a compact footprint, simple hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with Cisco MDS 9000 Family platforms.

Suitable for

• Fibre Channel connections in SAN (Storage Area Network) environments
• 8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports on Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches
• Short-reach multimode fibre links (850 nm)
• Upgrading or expanding storage switch ports with SFP+ transceivers

How to use

Insert the Cisco SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch or other supported device with the connector aligned and the module fully seated. Connect a suitable multimode fibre patch cable (LC connector) to the transceiver. The module will auto-negotiate 8, 16 or 32 Gbps Fibre Channel link speeds with the switch and attached device. Use standard SAN cabling and follow your switch console or management tools to verify link status and health.

Recommendations

Ensure the transceiver is used with compatible Cisco MDS 9000 Family hardware and multimode fibre (850 nm). Follow ESD precautions when handling, install in hot-pluggable slots as specified by the switch documentation, and verify firmware/compatibility matrices if using third-party equipment.
