DS-SFP-FC32G-SW Description
DS-SFP-FC32G-SW is a Cisco MDS 9000 Series 32-Gbps Fibre Channel shortwave SFP+ transceiver for SAN optical links on supported MDS platforms. It uses a dual LC connector over multimode fiber, operates at 850 nm, supports 8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel autosensing, and provides 32G reach up to 100 m on OM4 or OM5 fiber for short-distance data center storage-network connections.

Application Scenarios
DS-SFP-FC32G-SW fits Cisco MDS Fibre Channel ports when the cable plant uses dual LC multimode fiber and the 32G link distance stays within Cisco’s OM2, OM3, OM4, or OM5 shortwave limits.
Use the exact DS-SFP-FC32G-SW line item when the installed SAN path is already built around 850 nm shortwave MMF optics. LW and ELW 32G parts belong to single-mode routes, so they should not be mixed into the same optical path.
Cisco compatibility matrices list DS-SFP-FC32G-SW as a 32-Gbps Fibre Channel shortwave LC SFP+ optic for specified MDS switches and modules. Confirm the target product and NX-OS release train before the optic is added to an expansion or spare order.

- In a DS-SFP-FC32G-SW vs DS-SFP-FC32G-LW comparison, the deciding table difference is optical media: SW uses 850 nm multimode fiber for short links, while LW uses 1310 nm single-mode fiber for 10 km links.
- The DS-SFP-FC32G-SW difference from DS-SFP-FC32G-ELW is also distance class. DS-SFP-FC32G-SW is the shortwave MMF option, while DS-SFP-FC32G-ELW is the extended longwave SMF option for 25 km reach.
- For buyers comparing which model to choose, keep DS-SFP-FC32G-SW on the order when the MDS port needs LC MMF 32G Fibre Channel shortwave optics and use the Cisco matrix to verify product and release support.
Selection Guide
1. Match the optic to the MMF plant
Choose DS-SFP-FC32G-SW when the SAN route uses LC multimode fiber and the link budget fits Cisco’s 32G shortwave distance table.
2. Separate SW from LW and ELW orders
Select DS-SFP-FC32G-LW or DS-SFP-FC32G-ELW only when the route is single-mode fiber and the required reach is 10 km or 25 km. Those parts do not replace the 850 nm MMF role of DS-SFP-FC32G-SW.
3. Use the 32G distance row for the primary check
At 32G operation, Cisco documents 20 m on OM2, 70 m on OM3, and 100 m on OM4 or OM5 for DS-SFP-FC32G-SW.
4. Validate platform and release support
Confirm the MDS switch, Fibre Channel module, and NX-OS release column before the transceiver is released for a new link or maintenance spare.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
BOM product code |
The line item stays as DS-SFP-FC32G-SW |
Protects the order from drifting to LW, ELW, 16G, or 64G Fibre Channel optics |
|
MDS hardware target |
The receiving switch or module appears in Cisco’s MDS support documentation |
Avoids treating the optic as a generic SFP+ part outside the storage platform list |
|
Software train |
The NX-OS release family matches the Cisco compatibility matrix for this transceiver |
Aligns the spare or expansion order with the installed MDS software baseline |
|
MMF plant |
The path uses dual LC multimode fiber in the planned OM grade |
Confirms the 850 nm shortwave optic matches the installed cable media |
|
Distance plan |
The run observes the 2 m minimum and the 32G MMF limit for OM2, OM3, OM4, or OM5 |
Prevents shortwave optics from being assigned to a route beyond Cisco’s cable table |
|
Far-end module |
The remote port uses a matching 32G Fibre Channel SW optic |
Keeps wavelength, media type, and Fibre Channel speed aligned at both ends |
