SFP Transceiver Specifications
The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors. Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Cisco SFP transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser send (TX), and laser receive (RX), and support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver. For detailed specifications, refer to the documentation provided with the transceivers.
Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. Refer to the release notes for the list of specific supported SFP transceivers.
