Questions & Answers
What are Cisco storage transceivers?
Cisco storage transceivers are Fibre Channel SFP+ and SFP28 optical modules used in MDS SAN switches, Nexus switches, and UCS servers to connect storage networks at speeds from 8G to 64G FC.
What Fibre Channel speeds do Cisco transceivers support?
Cisco offers 8G, 16G, 32G, and 64G Fibre Channel optics. Most are backward compatible two generations, so a 32G SFP+ can negotiate down to 16G and 8G.
What is the difference between SW and LW Fibre Channel optics?
Shortwave (SW) optics use multimode fiber for distances up to roughly 100-500m depending on speed and fiber grade, while longwave (LW) optics use single-mode fiber for links up to 10km.
Are Cisco FC transceivers compatible with MDS switches?
Yes. Cisco DS-SFP series transceivers are designed and validated for MDS 9000 Series switches. Always match the optic to your switch model and its supported speed matrix.
Can I use third-party transceivers in Cisco MDS switches?
Cisco recommends genuine optics, and unsupported third-party modules can trigger warnings or be disabled. ORM Systems supplies genuine Cisco transceivers to guarantee compatibility and TAC support.
What fiber type do I need for 32G Fibre Channel?
For 32G SW optics use OM4 multimode fiber (up to 100m), while OM3 supports shorter distances. For longer runs, use 32G LW optics over single-mode fiber.
Do Cisco storage transceivers work in Nexus switches?
Yes, on FC and FCoE-capable Nexus models such as the Nexus 9300-FX with SAN switching enabled. Check the transceiver compatibility matrix for your exact platform.
How do I choose the right Cisco storage transceiver?
Match four things: switch model, required FC speed, fiber type (multimode vs single-mode), and distance. ORM Systems' engineers verify compatibility free of charge before you order.
