Product Description
The Brocade 8G-FC-SWL is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module designed for Fibre Channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs). It operates at a data rate of 8Gb/s, providing robust connectivity for enterprise storage environments that require high bandwidth and low latency. The 'SWL' designation indicates Short Wavelength, meaning it utilizes an 850nm laser, which is standard for short-distance communication over multimode fiber. This transceiver is optimized for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables, which are typically less expensive and easier to install than single-mode fiber for shorter runs. The maximum supported transmission distance is 300 meters, making it ideal for connecting servers and storage devices within the same data center rack, row, or adjacent racks. The duplex LC connector ensures a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic cable. The SFP+ form factor allows for hot-pluggable installation into compatible Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and other networking equipment. This facilitates easy deployment, upgrades, and maintenance without requiring system downtime. The 8G-FC-SWL is a critical component for building efficient and scalable SAN infrastructures, ensuring reliable data transfer for mission-critical applications.
