Description
The Cisco DS-SFP-FC-2G-LW is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel long-wave SFP transceiver designed for high-performance storage networking environments. Housed in a compact, hot-swappable Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) module, it supports extended link spans of up to 10 kilometers over standard single-mode fiber. This transceiver is ideal for connecting switches, directors, and storage devices within SANs, offering reliable data transmission with minimal latency. Its robust design ensures compatibility with a range of Cisco MDS-series switches and other compatible Fibre Channel equipment.
Built to deliver consistent performance, the DS-SFP-FC-2G-LW supports data rates of up to 2.125 Gbps and complies with the Fibre Channel 2G standard. The module features an LC duplex connector for easy integration into existing fiber infrastructure and uses a long-wavelength laser with a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm. It includes digital optical monitoring (DOM) support, allowing users to monitor real-time parameters such as optical output power and temperature. This used module is a cost-effective solution for expanding or maintaining legacy Fibre Channel networks without sacrificing quality.
