Questions & Answers

What is the DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C 16Gbps Fibre Channel ELW SFP+ module?

The DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C is a Cisco MDS-compatible 16 Gbps Fibre Channel enhanced long-wave (ELW) SFP+ transceiver designed for high-speed SAN connectivity over single-mode fiber up to 10 km.

Which Cisco MDS switches are compatible with the DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C?

This SFP+ module is fully compatible with Cisco MDS 9000 series switches and directors, ensuring seamless integration and uninterrupted Fibre Channel performance.

What data transfer rate does the DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C support?

It supports line-rate Fibre Channel speeds of 16 Gbps for both transmit and receive, optimizing throughput in high-demand storage networks.

What is the maximum transmission distance of this ELW SFP+?

Over single-mode fiber (SMF), the module delivers reliable 16 Gbps links up to 10 kilometers without additional amplification.

Which fiber connector does the module use?

The DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C uses an LC duplex connector, the industry standard for high-density single-mode Fibre Channel links.

Is the DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C hot-swappable?

Yes, the module supports hot-swap operation, allowing insertion and removal without powering down the switch or disrupting traffic.

What power consumption should I expect?

Typical power consumption is 1.2 W at 16 Gbps, providing energy-efficient operation in densely populated SAN environments.

Does the module support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?

Yes, it features SFF-8472 compliant DDM for real-time monitoring of optical output power, input power, temperature, laser bias current and supply voltage.

What temperature range can the DS-SFP-FC16G-ELW-C operate in?
