16Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ , Cisco Certified & Low Latency - Cisco Module
The Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-LW= is a 16Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) SFP+ transceiver designed for high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs). Cisco-certified and optimized for low-latency data transmission, this module ensures seamless compatibility with Cisco MDS-series switches and major storage platforms like EMC, NetApp, and HPE. Ideal for enterprise SANs, virtualization, and cloud storage, it delivers reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity with advanced diagnostics.
16Gbps Fibre Channel Speed: Doubles the throughput of 8G FC modules, enabling faster data access for critical applications.
Cisco Certified: Guaranteed compatibility with Cisco switches (e.g., MDS 9000) for hassle-free deployment.
Low Latency: Optimized for high-speed storage networks, reducing delays in financial, database, or virtualized environments.
Multi-Mode Fiber Support: 850nm (LW) wavelength works with OM3/OM4 fiber, supporting distances up to 100m (OM3) or 150m (OM4).
Hot-Swappable SFP+: Enables easy installation/replacement without network downtime.
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM): Real-time tracking of temperature, voltage, and optical power for proactive maintenance.
Backward Compatibility: Auto-negotiates to 8G/4G FC speeds for legacy SAN integration.
Energy Efficient: Low-power design reduces operational costs in large-scale deployments.
