Brocade compatible XBR-000147 Description
EdgeOptic's XBR-000147 compatible is a Brocade-coded 8G Fibre Channel SW version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate SFP+ transceiver. The module is built to the INCITS 450-2008 FC-PI-4 short-wavelength specification at 8.5 Gbps signaling and is recognized by Brocade SAN platforms without third-party-transceiver warnings.
The optic is 850 nm VCSEL based with a duplex LC interface and runs at 8.5 Gbps for 8GFC. Reach is 150 m over OM3 multimode fiber and up to 300 m over OM4 per FC-PI-4 8GFC SW reach specifications. The module supports the FC-PI-4 multi-rate envelope, operating at 1G, 2G, 4G, and 8G Fibre Channel rates (1.0625, 2.125, 4.25, and 8.5 Gbps) auto-negotiated by the switch port to match the upstream fabric speed. Digital diagnostics monitoring per SFF-8472 reports temperature, supply voltage, TX bias current, transmit power, and receive power on every read, so SAN engineers can verify link health from the switch management interface.
The XBR-000147 is ordered for Brocade G-series and 6000-series Fibre Channel SAN switches with 8GFC SFP+ ports. Verify the specific switch model, blade configuration, and Fabric OS release against Brocade's transceiver support matrix before deployment, particularly for mixed-generation fabrics where backward-rate auto-negotiation behavior depends on the slowest port in the path. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards do not apply to this Fibre Channel optic. Signaling rate, optical budget, and reach are governed entirely by the FC-PI-4 specification, and FC-PI-4 Table 16 documents the OM2 and OM3 distance budgets for 8GFC SW deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the XBR-000147 backward-compatible with older 4GFC and 2GFC switches?
Yes. The XBR-000147 is an 8GFC SW SFP+ module that auto-negotiates down to 4G and 2G Fibre Channel rates per the FC-PI-4 multi-rate specification (1.0625, 2.125, 4.25, and 8.5 Gbps). When installed in a 4GFC-only or 2GFC-only switch port, the module operates at the port's maximum rate. Verify the specific switch generation and Fabric OS release against Brocade's transceiver support matrix for compatibility on legacy SAN switches.
