Cisco’s Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and comply with
1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel standards as defined in FC-PI 10.0 2.
Transmission ranges for 2 Gbps are as follows:
•Long wavelength: Up to 10 km on 9 micron single mode fiber
•Short wavelength: Up to 300 m on 50 micron multi-mode fiber
•Short wavelength: Up to 150 m on 62.5 micron multi-mode fiber
For detailed transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Ca ble and Port
Specifications”.
Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers
Cisco’s Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers are
available in short wavelength (SWL) or long wavelength (LWL) versions. Both
of these versions are 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps capable.
Cisco’s Combination SFP transceivers have LC connectors and comply with
1 G bps / 2 Gbps Fibre Chan nel as de fined in FC-PI 10.0 2.
Transmission ranges are as follows:
•Long wavelength: Up to 10 km on 9 micron single mode fiber
•Short wavelength: Up to 300 m on 50 micron multi-mode fiber
•Short wavelength: Up to 150 m on 62.5 micron multi-mode fiber
For detailed transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Ca ble and Port
Specifications”.
CWDM Combination Fibre Channel / Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers
All Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Cisco MDS 9216 support
CWDM SFP transceivers.
The Cisco CWDM SFP transceivers have LC connectors and support both Gigabit
Ethernet and Fibre Channel (1 Gbps / 2 Gbps). They match the wavelength plan
of Cisco CWDM GBICs and Cisco CWDM OADMs.
