DS-SFP-FC32G-SW Description
DS-SFP-FC32G-SW is Cisco’s 32-Gbps Fibre Channel shortwave SFP+ transceiver for MDS 9000 Series, providing autosensing 8/16/32-Gbps FC connectivity over multimode fiber with LC interface. Also referred to as a Cisco 32G FC SW SFP+ or 32G shortwave FC transceiver, it supports up to 100 m on OM4/OM5 and 70 m on OM3 at 32G, with longer reaches at 16G and 8G, making it ideal for high-performance SAN access and ISLs within the data center . Optical performance is specified at +2.0 to −6.2 dBm transmit and +2.0 to −8.2 dBm receive average power, and the module operates from 0 to 70°C, meeting FC-PI-6/5/4 standards and Class 1 laser safety requirements . Note for 32G modules: only SW and LW optics are supported and 2G speeds aren’t supported; NX-OS 8.x or later is required for 32G module operation .
