DS-SFP-FC32G-LW Description

DS-SFP-FC32G-LW is a 32-Gbps Fibre Channel longwave (LW) SFP+ transceiver for Cisco MDS 9000 Series SAN switches. The module runs at 1310 nm over OS2 single-mode fiber and uses a dual-LC interface, delivering up to 10 km interconnect distance for data-center-to-campus or metro dark-fiber links. It supports autosensing 8/16/32-Gbps FC line rates (backward compatible to 16G and 8G on the same link), making it a flexible choice for core–edge ISLs, storage replication, backup/DR, and high-throughput host or director-class switch uplinks.Designed for stable operation in production SANs, the transceiver specifies average transmit/receive optical power of +2.0 to −5.0 dBm / +2.0 to −11.4 dBm and a minimum fiber length of 2 m, helping ensure predictable budgets across patch-panel runs. It is DOM/DDM capable so you can monitor real-time diagnostics such as temperature, voltage, and Tx/Rx power from the switch OS for easier turn-up and troubleshooting. Typical operating characteristics include 0–70 °C case temperature, approximately 1 W power consumption, and compact SFP+ dimensions of 8.5 × 13.55 × 56.5 mm.

Questions & Answers

  • When designing campus-to-campus SAN replication, what practical limits and latency planning should I consider with DS-SFP-FC32G-LW on single-mode fiber?

    Engineer for ~10 km without amplification and account for ~0.5 ms round-trip per 50 km. Validate buffer credits to keep the pipe full and monitor variance; long spans magnify small optical problems.
  • How can I build true path diversity for DS-SFP-FC32G-LW to survive civil works or fiber cuts without service interruption to Tier-1 databases?

    Use geographically diverse conduits, separate meet-me rooms, distinct splice trays, and different risers. Terminate on separate line cards where possible. Test failover during maintenance at realistic traffic levels.
  • What operational controls help keep DS-SFP-FC32G-LW stable during seasonal temperature shifts that affect outdoor SMF trays?

    Increase DOM polling, alert on slow power drift, and schedule periodic inspections. Clean connectors after storms and verify handholes for water ingress that can affect splice loss over time.
  • Can I mix DS-SFP-FC32G-LW long-wave ISLs with short-wave access ports on the same MDS while enabling NVMe/FC?

    Yes. LW ISLs backhaul traffic; SW connects short-reach endpoints. NVMe/FC enablement is independent of optic type—ensure software and HBAs support it, and size buffers for end-to-end latency.
  • What’s the best way to verify that sporadic CRCs on DS-SFP-FC32G-LW are fiber-related rather than module failure?

    Measure end-to-end loss with an OTDR, reseat and clean LC ends, and compare DOM across both ends. If CRCs persist after fiber remediation and port swaps, suspect a failing optic and pursue RMA.
  • How should port-channel members be selected when bundling multiple DS-SFP-FC32G-LW links of slightly different lengths?

    Keep member links as similar as possible in length and loss to avoid imbalance. Monitor utilization per member and re-balance if one path consistently shows higher errors or credit pressure.
  • Does DS-SFP-FC32G-LW require different cleaning tools from short-wave optics?

    Use SMF-rated cleaning sticks and follow the same strict inspection protocol. Single-mode tolerances are tighter; tiny contamination causes outsized effects over distance.
  • If we intend to upgrade endpoints later, does deploying DS-SFP-FC32G-LW now future-proof our physical plant?

    Yes. Single-mode cabling remains valid for future 64G FC generations or higher-speed DWDM transport. Optic swaps, not fiber pulls, drive upgrades.
  • How do I stage a live migration from 16G LW ISLs to DS-SFP-FC32G-LW with minimal disruption?

    Create parallel 32G port-channels, swing ISLs during a low-risk window, validate traffic flow, and then retire 16G trunks. Maintain rollback optics and clear documentation.
  • What monitoring baselines should I capture immediately after turning up DS-SFP-FC32G-LW?

    Record Rx/Tx power, temperature, error counters, and latency per hop. Save OTDR traces and splice maps. These baselines make future drift or damage easy to detect and prove.
