About the DS-SFP-FC16G-LW

The Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-LW optical transceiver delivers long distance Fibre Channel connectivity for enterprise storage area networks and disaster recovery replication links. Operating at 1310 nanometers over single mode fibre, it connects data centers and remote replication sites up to 10 kilometers without external amplification.

Compatibility

Compatible with Cisco MDS 9000 Series multilayer storage switches, including MDS 9148S, MDS 9148T, MDS 9396S, and MDS 9396T, as well as unified port modules on Cisco Nexus switches. It supports auto-negotiation to 16Gbps, 8Gbps, and 4Gbps Fibre Channel protocols.

How to identify a genuine unit

Enclosed in an SFP+ form factor metal casing with a blue release bail indicating longwave single mode operation. The label carries Cisco branding, part designation DS-SFP-FC16G-LW, manufacturing assembly number 10-2675-01, individual serial number, and optical laser safety compliance markings.

Buying used

Inspect the optical interface for clean fiber surfaces, check the mechanical latching bail for smooth operation, and connect to an MDS Fibre Channel port to confirm proper port authentication, clean optics diagnostics, and verify optical power telemetry registers within vendor specification limits.
