SFP Transceiver Specifications

The IBM SAN32C-6 switch is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors. Each transceiver must match the transceiver at the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength. The cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications to take place.

The SFP+ transceivers support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.

Use only SFP transceivers specified here on the IBM SAN32C-6 switch. Each SFP transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. For the list of supported SFP transceivers, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Compatibility Matrix.

For details about SFP transceivers see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Pluggable Transceivers Data Sheet.
