Cisco compatible DS-SFP-FC10G-SW Description

EdgeOptic's DS-SFP-FC10G-SW compatible is a Cisco-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor multi-rate SFP+ transceiver, configured for 10G Fibre Channel short-wave operation in Cisco MDS SAN fabrics. DS-SFP-FC10G-SW is the Cisco ordering code for the 10GFC SW SFP+ optic in the MDS pluggable transceiver catalog. The optic carries Cisco-recognized EEPROM identification so MDS switch firmware registers the module under the standard transceiver-acceptance policy.

The module operates per INCITS 460-2011 FC-PI-3 at 10.518 Gbps signaling, 850 nm VCSEL into duplex LC, with up to 300 m on OM3 multimode fiber per the vendor specification. DDM telemetry per SFF-8472 exposes the standard transceiver health parameters: temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power, and RX power. Form factor is SFP+ (SFF-8431 MSA) at the standard commercial operating range. FC-PI-3 is the governing Fibre Channel Physical Interface standard for 10GFC short-wave optics, distinct from FC-PI-5 which covers 16GFC at 14.025 Gbps; the line-rate and standards reference matter for fabric design verification.

Typical deployment is the Cisco MDS 9000 storage networking platform family, where 10GFC line cards carry SAN inter-switch links and aggregation traffic between fabric directors at the higher 10G FC rate. Specific MDS 9500, 9700, and 9250i platform compatibility should be verified against the current Cisco MDS pluggable transceiver compatibility documentation before deployment, since the Cisco MDS datasheet is the authoritative reference for which line cards accept which optic per platform generation. The DS-SFP-FC10G-SW is distinct from DS-SFP-FC8G-SW (8GFC) and other DS-SFP catalog codes within the MDS pluggable optic family; the line-rate suffix determines which fabric ports the optic operates against, and a 10GFC optic will not negotiate down to fill an 8GFC port on the same fabric.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For Cisco MDS 10GFC fabric refresh, mixed 8G and 10G FC migration planning, or bulk DS-SFP-FC10G-SW inventory, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DS-SFP-FC10G-SW comply with FC-PI-3 or FC-PI-5?

FC-PI-3 (INCITS 460-2011). FC-PI-3 is the Fibre Channel Physical Interface standard that governs 10GFC short-wave operation at 10.518 Gbps. FC-PI-5 (INCITS 479-2011) is a separate standard that covers 16GFC at 14.025 Gbps signaling, not 10GFC. The DS-SFP-FC10G-SW is a 10GFC optic per FC-PI-3.
