Questions & Answers

  • For campus SAN backbones, what distance and loss assumptions should I design around with DS-SFP-FC16G-LW over single-mode fiber?

    Plan for ~10 km within standard power budgets on quality SMF. Confirm splice losses, connector counts, and seasonal impacts, and document an OTDR trace for future comparison and troubleshooting.
  • How should I size buffer credits and test latency when adding DS-SFP-FC16G-LW ISLs to a mixed 8G/16G fabric?

    Estimate round-trip latency from distance, then allocate credits to keep the link saturated. Validate with synthetic tests during a change window and adjust based on measured utilization and queue depth.
  • What operational practices prevent recurring CRCs and intermittent drops on DS-SFP-FC16G-LW long links?

    Strict SMF cleaning, bend-radius observance, labeled patch paths, and periodic DOM trend reviews. Replace suspect cords proactively and re-terminate poor splices identified by OTDR.
  • Can DS-SFP-FC16G-LW coexist with DS-SFP-FC16G-SW on the same MDS 9148T without special configuration?

    Yes. Each port operates independently. Ensure LW connects to LW at the far end, and SW to SW. Keep separate spare pools and clearly label SMF versus MMF panels.
  • How do I plan a risk-reduced migration from 8G LW to DS-SFP-FC16G-LW across dual fabrics?

    Build parallel 16G port-channels, swing traffic in one fabric, validate counters and application latency, then repeat on the second fabric. Maintain rollback optics and an annotated patch map.
  • What’s the recommended monitoring profile for DS-SFP-FC16G-LW in outdoor or campus conduits subject to temperature swings?

    Increase polling around seasonal transitions, alert on gradual power drift, and perform targeted cleanings after storms. Periodically re-run OTDR tests to catch degrading splices early.
  • If intermittent errors persist after cleaning, how do I differentiate a marginal optic from physical plant issues?

    Swap optics between ports, compare DOM, and test with a known-good fiber pair. If errors follow the fiber path, repair splices or replace jumpers. If they follow the optic, open an RMA.
  • Will adopting DS-SFP-FC16G-LW affect NVMe/FC enablement plans, or is it purely a physical-layer consideration?

    It’s physical only. NVMe/FC readiness depends on software, HBAs, and arrays. LW optics provide the distance; protocols and zoning remain unchanged.
  • Any guidance for stocking spares of DS-SFP-FC16G-LW versus SW optics in distributed campuses?

    Stock both LW and SW spares in proportion to installed base, plus cleaning kits and labeled jumpers. Long-wave spares are critical for remote sites with long SMF runs.
  • What documentation should I create after turning up new DS-SFP-FC16G-LW links to simplify future troubleshooting?

    Record DOM baselines, OTDR traces, splice maps, patch panel IDs, fiber routes, and photos of terminations. Good documentation shortens outages and speeds remote-hands guidance.
