Cisco’s Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and comply with 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps Fibre Channel standards as defined in
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
•Short wavelength: Up to 150 m on 62.5 micron
For detailed transceiver specifications, see Appendix C, “Cable 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.
