Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs
The Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs (Figure 1) are designed to provide cost-effective Fibre Channel connectivity for the Cisco MDS 9000 Fibre Channel switching modules. There are two types of Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP: the Cisco Fibre Channel Shortwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC-2G-SW) and the Cisco Fibre Channel Longwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC-2G-LW). Each product offers 1/2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel connectivity.
The Cisco 4-Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs (Figure 2) are designed to provide cost-effective Fibre Channel connectivity for the 1/2/4-Gbps ports on the Cisco MDS 9000 family platform. There are three types of Cisco 4-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP: the Cisco Fibre Channel Shortwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC4G-SW), the Cisco 4-km Fibre Channel Longwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC4G-MR), and the Cisco 10-km Fibre Channel Longwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC4G-LW). Each product offers 1/2/4-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel connectivity.
The Cisco 8-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ (Figure 3) is designed to provide Fibre Channel connectivity for the 2/4/8-Gbps ports on the Cisco MDS 9000 family platform. There are two types of Cisco 8-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+: the Cisco Fibre Channel Shortwave SFP+ (part number DS-SFP-FC8G-SW) and the Cisco Fibre Channel Longwave SFP+ (part number DS-SFP-FC8G-LW). Each product offers 2/4/8-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel connectivity.
To ease management and sparing concerns, Cisco offers SFPs that can be used in both Fibre Channel (FC) and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports. The Cisco Tri-Rate Multiprotocol SFPs can run at 1- and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel and 1-Gbps Ethernet, thus enabling the user to use one type of SFP for all ports on the Cisco MDS 9000 family platform.
There are two types of Cisco Tri-Rate Multiprotocol SFP (Figure 4): the Cisco Tri-Rate Multiprotocol Shortwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FCGE-SW) and the Cisco Tri-Rate Multiprotocol Longwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FCGE-LW). Each product offers autosensing 1/2-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity and 1-Gbps Ethernet connectivity.
Note: The fiber loss budget is derived from taking the difference between the minimum average transmit power and the minimum average receive power and subtracting the link penalties. The specified fiber loss budget should be used in calculating the maximum link distance.

Cisco Copper Gigabit Ethernet SFPs
To enable even more cabling flexibility, the Cisco MDS 9000 family offers a copper Gigabit Ethernet SFP. Based on the 1000BASE-T standard, the Cisco Copper Gigabit Ethernet SFP (Figure 5) provides cost-effective connectivity for data center applications. The Cisco Copper Gigabit Ethernet SFP (part number DS-SFP-GE-T) allows a user to use standard Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling for Ethernet connectivity.
The Cisco Fibre Channel X2 transceivers are designed to provide high-performance Fibre Channel connectivity for the 10-Gbps Fibre Channel ports on the Cisco MDS 9000 family platform. There are three types of Cisco 10-Gbps Fibre Channel X2 transceivers for transmission on optical cables: Cisco Short Reach (up to 300 m; part number DS-X2-FC10G-SR), Cisco Long Reach (up to 10 km; part number DS-X2-FC10G-LR), and Cisco Extended Reach (up to 40 km; part number DS-X2-FC10G-ER) (Figure 6). There is also a 10-Gbps Fibre Channel X2 transceiver for transmission on copper cable (up to 15 m; part number DS-X2-FC10G-CX4) (Figure 7). Each product offers 10-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity.
The Cisco Ethernet X2 Transceiver Short Reach (up to 300 m; part number DS-X2-E10G-SR) enables high-performance Fibre Channel connectivity for the Cisco MDS 9000 family 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module to an existing Ethernet Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transponder (Figure 8). The data format transmitted by the Ethernet X2 transceiver (DS-X2-E10G-SR) onto the fiber is identical to that transmitted by the Fibre Channel transceiver (DS-X2-FC10G-SR), except that the Fibre Channel packets are clocked at the 10 gigabit Ethernet rate, which allows Fibre Channel packets to be carried over an existing 10-Gbps Ethernet DWDM infrastructure. The Cisco MDS 9000 family 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module will automatically detect DS-X2-E10G-SR; no software configuration is required.
The Cisco MDS 9000 family offers cost-effective multiprotocol extended distance connectivity that optimizes the use of a customer's existing optical infrastructure through the Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFP solution (Figure 9). The Cisco CWDM SFP solution has two main components: a set of eight wavelength-specific SFPs and a set of CWDM optical add-drop modules (OADMs). A Cisco CWDM chassis enables rack-mounting of up to two Cisco CWDM OADMs. The Cisco CWDM OADMs are passive and require no power or configuration.
The Cisco CWDM SFP solution enables the transport of up to eight channels over one pair of single-mode fiber strands, enabling enterprises to increase the bandwidth of an existing optical infrastructure without adding new fiber strands. The solution can be used in parallel with other Cisco SFP devices on the same platform.
Figure 10 shows a common point-to-point deployment scenario for the Cisco MDS 9000 family using the Cisco CWDM SFP solution. Two endpoints are directly connected through a fiber link. The Cisco CWDM SFP solution enables customers to add or drop up to eight channels onto a pair of single-mode fiber strands. As a result, the need for additional fiber is reduced. Redundant point-to-point links can be implemented by adding or dropping redundant channels onto a second pair of single-mode fiber strands.

Cisco CWDM OADMs
Technical Specifications for Cisco CWDM OADMs
The Cisco CWDM OADMs are passive devices that provide the capability to multiplex and demultiplex, or add and drop wavelengths from multiple fibers onto one fiber. The OADM connectors are interfaced with color-matching Cisco CWDM SFPs on the equipment side. All modules are the same size. The Cisco CWDM chassis enables rack mounting for up to two Cisco CWDM OADMs in a single rack unit.
The Cisco MDS 9000 family offers two CWDM OADMs and a multiplexer and demultiplexer:
• Cisco Dual Fiber 4-Channel OADMs (part numbers DS-CWDMOADM4A= and DS-CWDMOADM4B=): This device allows you to add and drop four channels (with different wavelengths) onto one direction of an optical ring. The other wavelengths are passed through the OADM. Dual fiber is used for both network and SFP connections. The four wavelengths are set to 1470, 1490, 1510, and 1530 nm for DS-CWDMOADM4A=, and 1550, 1570, 1590, and 1610 nm for DS-CWDMOADM4B=.
• Cisco Dual Fiber 8-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (DS-CWDM-MUX8A=): This device allows you to multiplex and demultiplex eight separate channels onto one pair of fiber. Dual fiber is used for both network and SFP connections. The eight wavelengths are set to 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, and 1610 nm.

The Cisco 10-Gbps Ethernet DWDM X2 Transceiver pluggable module (part number DWDM-X2-xx.xx=) enables high-performance Fibre Channel connectivity for the Cisco MDS 9000 family 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module to an existing Ethernet DWDM infrastructure. The data format transmitted by the Ethernet DWDM X2 transceiver (DWDM-X2-xx.xx=) onto the fiber is identical to that transmitted by the Fibre Channel X2 transceiver (DS-X2-FC10G-SR), except that the Fibre Channel packets are clocked at the 10 Gigabit Ethernet rate, which allows Fibre Channel packets to be carried over an existing 10-Gbps Ethernet DWDM infrastructure. The Cisco MDS 9000 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module will automatically detect DWDM-X2-xx.xx=; no software configuration is required.
The main features of the Cisco 10-Gbps Ethernet DWDM X2 Transceiver include:
• Support for 32 nontunable ITU 100-GHz wavelengths compatible with the Cisco ONS DWDM channel plan
• Support for digital optical monitoring capability
