Brocade compatible XBR-000163 Description
EdgeOptic's XBR-000163 compatible is a Brocade-coded 8G Fibre Channel SW version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate SFP+ transceiver. Brocade ships this module under the internal part number 57-1000117-01 as the 8GFC SWL optic for the DCX 8510 Backbone director and the broader Brocade FC SAN switch portfolio. 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.
The XBR-000163 is ordered for the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone director, the 7800 extension switch, and the broader Brocade FC SAN switch portfolio per Brocade compatibility documentation. Verify the specific switch model, blade configuration, and Fabric OS release against Brocade's transceiver support matrix before deployment, particularly for DCX 8510 director deployments where blade-level transceiver support depends on the FC blade generation installed in the chassis. 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 the 8GFC SW deployments where the XBR-000163 is qualified.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the XBR-000163 work in all slots of the Brocade DCX 8510, or only in specific FC blade slots?
The XBR-000163 is the 8GFC SWL SFP+ optic for the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone director and is documented as compatible with the platform broadly per Brocade's transceiver support matrix. Blade-level support depends on which FC blade generations are installed in the DCX 8510 chassis. 8GFC blade slots accept the XBR-000163 at native 8G. For mixed-blade DCX 8510 deployments, verify the specific blade generation and Fabric OS release against Brocade's transceiver support documentation before deployment.
