DS-SFP-FC8G-LW Overview
The DS-SFP-FC8G-LW is an 8Gbps Fibre Channel longwave SFP+ transceiver module offered by Cisco for the Nexus 5500 platform switches. It provides 8Gbps native Fibre Channel connectivity over single-mode fiber, enabling long reach connections between the Nexus 5500 and Fibre Channel storage arrays or fabric switches in data center environments.
The DS-SFP-FC8G-LW utilizes 1310nm longwave lasers to provide links up to 10km over standard 9um single-mode fiber. With LC connectors and compatibility with native 8Gbps Fibre Channel ports on Nexus 5500 Fibre Channel expansion modules, the DS-SFP-FC8G-LW is an ideal SFP+ for SAN consolidation using the Nexus 5500 platform.
