the Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW stands out as a crucial component, providing high-speed connectivity and reliable data transmission. This guide delves into the details of this transceiver module, exploring its features, specifications, and applications.
Overview of Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SWThe Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW is an 8 Gigabytes Per Second (GBPS) Short Wave Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module. Let's break down each element of its nomenclature to gain a better understanding.
8 Gigabytes Per Second (GBPS)- The '8Gbps' denotes the module's data transfer rate, indicating that it can handle up to 8 gigabytes of data per second. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for applications demanding swift and efficient data transmission.
- The 'Short Wave Fibre Channel' specification signifies the type of optical communication utilized by the module. Short Wave is commonly employed in multi-mode fiber optics for shorter-distance transmissions, making it optimal for certain network configurations.
- The module is specifically designed for use with multi-mode fiber optic cables. Multi-mode fibers enable the transmission of multiple modes or paths of light, allowing data to travel concurrently through different paths. This is particularly advantageous for shorter-distance connections within data centers or between devices nearby.
- The module's operational range extends up to 150 meters, making it suitable for connecting devices within a relatively close distance. This range is a critical factor to consider when planning the layout of a network or data center.
- The '1310nm' wavelength specification refers to the optical wavelength at which the module operates. In this case, 1310nm falls within the range of wavelengths commonly used for optical communication, ensuring compatibility with other networking equipment.
- The module features a Duplex LC (Lucent Connector) connector, a widely used fiber optic connector type. The duplex configuration indicates that it supports two-way communication, facilitating bidirectional data transmission.
- The 'SFP+' form factor is a compact design that allows for hot-swapping, meaning the module can be replaced or installed without powering down the entire system. This feature enhances flexibility and minimizes downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
Now, let's delve deeper into the key features and specifications that make the Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW a reliable and efficient transceiver module.
High Data Transfer Rate- The 8Gbps data transfer rate ensures fast and efficient data transmission, making this module ideal for applications requiring high-speed connectivity, such as storage area networks (SANs) and data centers.
- The Short Wave Fibre Channel technology employed by this module enhances its compatibility with multi-mode fiber optics, offering a cost-effective solution for short-distance connections.
- Designed specifically for multi-mode fiber optics, the module supports the simultaneous transmission of multiple light modes, enabling efficient data transfer over shorter distances.
- With a range of up to 150 meters, the Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW provides flexibility in network design, allowing for reliable connections within a confined geographical area.
- Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm, the module ensures compatibility with standard optical communication equipment, facilitating seamless integration into existing networks.
- The Duplex LC connector supports bidirectional communication, enabling simultaneous data transmission and reception. This is crucial for applications requiring real-time data exchange.
- The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) design allows for hot-swapping, streamlining maintenance, and upgrades without disrupting the entire network. This feature enhances the overall reliability and availability of the network.
The DS-SFP-FC8G-SW Cisco 8GB Fibre Short Wave SFP+ Transceiver provides robust security and dynamic quality features:
Quality of Service (QoS) support- The transceiver supports Quality of Service (QoS) which enables prioritizing the critical data over the non-critical data. This helps to ensure that important data is transmitted with the lowest possible latency and minimal packet loss.
- The transceiver includes built-in diagnostic monitoring, which allows for real-time monitoring of key parameters, such as temperature, voltage, and laser bias current. This helps to detect and diagnose potential problems before they can cause disruptions to service.
- The transceiver is compliant with industry standards such as FC-PI-4 and RoHS. This ensures that it is compatible with a wide range of devices and equipment and that it meets certain environmental and safety requirements.
- The transceiver provides secure communication using Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) which is a security protocol that encrypts and authenticates data as it travels over the Fibre Channel network.
- The transceiver supports Dynamic Quality of Service (D-QoS) which is a feature that automatically adjusts the QoS settings to match the changing needs of the network. This helps to ensure that the network is always operating at optimal performance levels.
All these features help to ensure that the data transmitted over the network is secure, of high quality, and meets the desired performance level. These features make the transceiver ideal for use in high-speed storage and data center environments where security and quality are of the utmost importance.
Compliant StandardsThe DS-SFP-FC8G-SW Cisco 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Shortwave SFP+ is a type of Small Form-Factor plugable (SFP+) transceiver that is compliant with a variety of standards. These standards ensure that the transceiver is compatible with a wide range of devices and networks and that it performs at a high level of reliability and functionality.
The most important standards that the DS-SFP-FC8G-SW is compliant with include:
Fibre Channel- This standard defines the protocol and physical characteristics of a fiber channel network, which is a high-speed data transfer technology used in storage area networks (SANs).
- This standard specifies the maximum data transfer rate of 8 Gbps for fiber channel networks, ensuring that the transceiver is capable of transmitting and receiving data at high speeds.
- This standard defines the form factor and interface of the transceiver, ensuring that it is compatible with other SFP+ devices and that it can be easily installed and replaced in network equipment.
- This standard defines the specifications for 10 Gbps Ethernet, ensuring that the transceiver is compatible with 10 Gbps Ethernet networks and can transmit and receive data at high speeds.
