DS-SFP-FC8G-SW Overview
The DS-SFP-FC8G-SW is an 8Gbps Fibre Channel shortwave SFP+ transceiver module offered by Cisco for the Nexus 5500 platform switches. It provides 8Gbps native Fibre Channel connectivity over multimode fiber, enabling high speed connections between the Nexus 5500 and Fibre Channel storage arrays or fabric switches in data center environments.
The DS-SFP-FC8G-SW utilizes 850nm shortwave lasers to provide links up to 150m over standard 50um multimode fiber. With LC connectors and compatibility with native 8Gbps Fibre Channel ports on Nexus 5500 Fibre Channel expansion modules, the DS-SFP-FC8G-SW is an ideal SFP+ for SAN consolidation using the Nexus 5500 platform.
