About the DS-SFP-FC8G-SW

Cisco 8 Gbps Fibre Channel SW SFP+, LC is sold by Cisco under product ID DS-SFP-FC8G-SW; the same item ordered as a spare carries the suffix = (DS-SFP-FC8G-SW=). It is a transceiver in the Cisco option range and appears in the ordering or configuration tables of the vendor documents cited in the sources. Key figures taken from the listing: speed 8Gb FC. The product ID is the number brokers and buyers search for, so match it exactly rather than by capacity or description alone.

Compatibility

The Cisco documents cited in the sources list DS-SFP-FC8G-SW as an option for Cisco MDS 9250i, Cisco MDS 9706, Cisco MDS 9710, Cisco MDS 9718. That listing is the only compatibility claim recorded here: the part is not assumed to fit other generations or other product lines of the same brand. Firmware, software, slot, backplane and controller requirements are set out in the vendor documentation for the specific product, and the vendor's compatibility tool should be checked before ordering a second-hand unit.

Buying used

Inspect the optical connector for scratches or dirt, read the module details from the switch (vendor name, part number, serial) and confirm the switch accepts it without an unsupported-module warning. Check the speed and reach on the label. Ask the seller for photos of the part number label, confirm the return terms, and test the part in a running system before accepting it. Prices vary with condition, so compare several listings for the exact product ID.
