About the 57-1000262-01
The Brocade 57-1000262-01 is an industry standard 16Gb Shortwave SFP+ optical transceiver developed for enterprise Fibre Channel storage fabrics. Transmitting at 850nm over multimode fibre, it achieves transmission distances up to 125 meters on OM4 cabling and up to 100 meters on OM3 cabling. It provides reliable data transmission for critical enterprise virtualization and block storage infrastructure.
Compatibility
Compatible with Brocade 6510, 6505, G610, and G620 SAN switches, as well as 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapters and storage controllers. The transceiver auto-negotiates to 8Gb and 4Gb line rates to maintain backward compatibility with legacy SAN arrays. It operates smoothly across all supported Brocade Fabric OS versions without requiring special licenses.
How to identify a genuine unit
Identified by a silver SFP+ chassis with a dark red or black extraction bail latch mechanism. The top casing features a printed Brocade label with part number 57-1000262-01, laser hazard certifications, and manufacturing serial number. Running sfpshow in the switch terminal confirms genuine Brocade EEPROM encoding, transceiver temperature, and supply voltage.
Buying used
Prior to deployment of refurbished modules, examine the LC optical connector ports for internal contamination using an optical scope. Confirm that the latching arm snaps firmly into the port slot and does not wiggle. Query the switch diagnostic log to ensure the optical receive sensitivity is balanced and operates within normal factory thresholds.

Works together
How the Brocade 57-1000262-01 connects to servers, storage and the network: 1 way, with the hardware on each path.
Fibre Channel SAN
Match the speed: 16Gb and 32Gb FC HBAs, switches and array ports work together, and each generation also runs one or two speeds below its own (a 32Gb port runs at 16Gb and 8Gb).
