SFP Transceiver Specifications

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors. Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.

Cisco SFP transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser transmit (TX), and laser receive (RX), and support 850- to 1610-nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.

Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS for your software release to get the list of supported SFP transceivers.

This section provides the following information:

•Cisco Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers

•Cisco Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre Channel Transceivers

•Cisco CWDM SFP Transceivers

•Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Transceivers

For information about safety, regulatory, and standards compliance, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
