Product identity

This AddOn DS-SFP-FC8G-SW-AO is an 8Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver built for short-reach multi-mode fibre links. It targets network engineers and data-centre operators who need a hot-swappable module that initialises identically to the Cisco OEM part it replaces.

Deciding specification

The module operates at 850nm over multi-mode fibre with an LC duplex connector and is rated for 150m reach at 8Gb transfer rate. This distance and wavelength combination determines whether the part matches the physical link budget of the intended segment.

Fit and alternatives

It suits teams deploying or extending 8Gb Fibre Channel fabrics in building-scale environments where multi-mode cabling already exists. Buyers who need longer reach, single-mode fibre, or a different protocol should look at other transceiver types.

Questions about this item

What does the 8 Gb transfer rate mean when the transceiver is installed in a switch?

The module runs at 8-Gigabit Fibre Channel speed over multi-mode fiber, giving you 150 m reach at 850 nm wavelength.

Which interface standard does the SFP+ form factor use and what distance does it cap?

The SFP+ form factor carries 8G Fibre Channel and is limited to 150 m over OM2/OM3 multi-mode fiber.

What physical connector and fiber type are required to plug this module in?

It uses an LC duplex connector and requires 850 nm multi-mode fiber cable.
