Description
The Cisco DS-CWDM8G1550 is an 8-Gbps Fibre Channel CWDM SFP+ transceiver designed for long-distance storage networking over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1550 nm CWDM wavelength, this module enables efficient wavelength-division multiplexing to extend Fibre Channel connectivity while reducing fiber infrastructure requirements.
Built for Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches and directors, the DS-CWDM8G1550 supports 2/4/8-Gbps auto-negotiating Fibre Channel speeds and delivers reliable performance for enterprise data centers, disaster recovery sites, and SAN extension deployments. The hot-swappable SFP+ form factor allows seamless installation and maintenance without network downtime.
