Brocade compatible XBR-000174 Description
EdgeOptic's XBR-000174 compatible is a Brocade-coded 8G Fibre Channel longwave SFP+ for 1310 nm single-mode fiber. The module operates at 8.5 Gbps with multi-rate auto-sensing down to 4.25 Gbps and 2.125 Gbps for use across Brocade SAN switches. Output power is -8.2 to +0.5 dBm into a duplex LC connector, paired with a -14.5 dBm receiver to deliver a 9 dB optical budget for SAN links up to 20 km over G.652 fiber.
The XBR-000174 ships with Brocade-recognized EEPROM, so FabricOS validation accepts the module without Mod_Inv, FAULTY, or 'Incompatible SFP' port states. The transmitter uses a 1310 nm DFB laser, the receiver is a PIN photodiode, and DDM/DOM diagnostics report TX power, RX power, temperature, voltage, and bias current through standard SFF-8472 registers. Operating range is 0 to 70 C, and the module is compliant with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, the SFP+ MSA, RoHS, and CE.
Compatible with Brocade DCX 8510, DCX, DCX-4S, 6510, 6520, 6505, 5300, 5100, 300, the Brocade Encryption Switch, and 7800 Extension Switch. The XBR-000174 is the longwave 1310 nm SMF variant in the family; do not confuse it with the multimode shortwave SFP+ codes or the 80 km 1550 nm ELWL variant, which use different optics and are coded for different reach classes. Verify the module is recognized after install with sfpshow [slot/]port and confirm port speed and FC class with portcfgshow.
The XBR-000174 is built on EdgeOptic's 10G-SFP-20 platform, a multi-protocol 1310 nm SMF SFP+ designed for 8G, 4G, 2G, and 1G Fibre Channel SAN environments. The OEM Brocade XBR-000174 is documented as a 25 km ELWL module; EdgeOptic delivers 20 km / 9 dB on this hardware build. For SAN links beyond 20 km, reference the Brocade XBR-000174 ELWL datasheet for the OEM 25 km specification or contact our sales team for an extended-reach project review.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
XBR-000174 Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XBR-000174 compatible work in Brocade FabricOS switches without triggering unsupported-transceiver errors?
Yes. EdgeOptic codes our Brocade-compatible XBR-000174 with the EEPROM format FabricOS expects, so the module clears FOS lookup-table validation and initializes without Mod_Inv, FAULTY, or 'Incompatible SFP' port states. DDM/DOM data is reported normally on FOS 9.x and earlier.
Which Brocade SAN switch platforms is the XBR-000174 compatible with?
The XBR-000174 is documented for use in the Brocade DCX 8510, DCX, DCX-4S, 6510, 6520, 6505, 5300, 5100, 300, the Brocade Encryption Switch, and the 7800 Extension Switch. Confirm the slot and port type against the Brocade Transceiver Support Matrix for your FabricOS version before deployment.
How can I verify the XBR-000174 is recognized on a Brocade switch after install?
Use sfpshow [slot/]port from the FabricOS CLI to read vendor name, part number, serial number, supported speeds, and live optical power on the installed module. A 'Cannot read Serial Data' response indicates the module is not recognized; correctly coded modules return full vendor and DDM data. portcfgshow gives the configured FC speed and port type alongside the sfpshow output.
Is the XBR-000174 an 8G or 10G module, and will it auto-negotiate with 4G and 2G FC ports?
The XBR-000174 is an 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ longwave module operating at 8.5 Gbps. It auto-senses 4.25 Gbps and 2.125 Gbps for backward compatibility with 4G and 2G FC infrastructure on Brocade SAN switches. The actual negotiated rate is set by the port configuration via portcfgspeed per FabricOS documentation; legacy 1G FC is also reported by the module but is rarely deployed in modern SAN environments.
