Cisco DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-RF 16 Gbps SFP+ Module | Fibre Channel, LC — DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-RF

Keep Fibre Channel storage traffic moving with a Cisco 16 Gbps SW SFP+ transceiver designed for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. This refurbished, Cisco Certified module supports multimode optical fiber and LC duplex connectivity, giving infrastructure teams a practical way to replace failed optics or expand short-reach links without changing the surrounding fabric design. Built for data networking and optical network applications, the DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-RF delivers 16 Gbit/s throughput in a compact hot-swappable form factor. That matters in dense SAN environments where service windows are short and port availability is valuable. The module’s compatibility with Cisco MDS 9000 director switching modules and fabric switches helps preserve standardization across the storage network while keeping procurement aligned with an established platform. For teams balancing uptime, lifecycle cost, and vendor consistency, refurbished Cisco optics can be a smart way to extend the life of installed infrastructure. This module is suited to short-distance Fibre Channel deployments where multimode cabling is already in place and predictable interoperability is required.
