Cisco – DS-SFP-FC16G-SW 16Gb Fibre Channel Short Wave SFP+ Transceiver Module

Product Description

The Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-SW is a high-performance 16Gb Fibre Channel Short Wave (SW) SFP+ transceiver module designed for enterprise storage networking and data center applications. Engineered to deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity, this hot-swappable optical transceiver enables seamless communication between Fibre Channel switches, storage area networks (SANs), and storage devices.

Operating over multimode fiber (MMF), the DS-SFP-FC16G-SW supports Fibre Channel data rates up to 14.025 Gbps and is backward compatible with lower Fibre Channel speeds, providing flexibility for network upgrades and mixed-speed environments. Utilizing an 850nm wavelength with LC duplex connectors, it delivers dependable short-range optical connectivity for mission-critical storage infrastructure.

The compact SFP+ form factor allows easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance. Cisco’s rigorous testing and quality standards ensure optimal compatibility, performance, and reliability across Cisco MDS switches and supported Fibre Channel platforms.

Ideal for enterprise data centers, cloud environments, disaster recovery sites, and high-performance storage networks, the Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-SW helps organizations achieve efficient, scalable, and secure SAN connectivity.
