Description
The Cisco DS-CWDM8G1610= is an 8-Gbps Fibre Channel CWDM SFP+ transceiver designed for long-distance storage networking over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1610 nm CWDM wavelength, this module enables cost-effective wavelength-division multiplexing, allowing multiple Fibre Channel links to share a single fiber pair.
Built for Cisco MDS and compatible Fibre Channel platforms, the DS-CWDM8G1610= supports 2/4/8 Gbps auto-negotiation, making it ideal for SAN extension, disaster recovery, and inter-data-center connectivity up to 25 km. The hot-swappable SFP+ form factor ensures easy deployment and simplified maintenance in enterprise storage environments.
