The DS-SFP-FC8G-SW is the Cisco Fibre Channel shortwave SFP+ transceiver for the MDS 9000 Series, with 2/4/8-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel connectivity. It is hot-swappable, uses dual LC connectors and runs at 850 nm over multimode fiber.
At 8 Gbps the cable distance is 21 m on 62.5 micron OM1, 50 m on OM2, 150 m on OM3 and 190 m on OM4 or OM5 fiber. At 4 Gbps the reach is 70 m (OM1), 150 m (OM2), 380 m (OM3) and 400 m (OM4), and at 2 Gbps it is 150 m, 300 m, 500 m and 520 m for the same four grades. The minimum cable distance is 2 m. Digital diagnostic monitoring is supported, and the module complies with the Fibre Channel FC-PI specifications at 8.5, 4.25 and 2.125 GBd.
The module measures 8.5 x 13.55 x 56.5 mm (H x W x D). It plugs into MDS 9000 director switching modules and fabric switch ports, including the MDS 9148S, 9250i, 9396S, 9132T, 9148T and 9396T switches and the DS-X9232-256K9, DS-X9248-256K9, DS-X9448-768K9, DS-X9334-K9 and DS-X9648-1536K9 modules. On the 32G modules only 4G and 8G speeds are supported with 8G SFPs.
DS-SFP-FC8G-SW= is the spare part number. Other Fibre Channel shortwave options are the DS-SFP-FC4G-SW 4G shortwave SFP and the DS-SFP-FC16G-SW 16G shortwave SFP+, and the DS-C9148S-K9 MDS 9148S switch is a host for it. More are in Cisco interface cards.
