Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW 8 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ | SAN, LC — DS-SFP-FC8G-SW

Keep storage traffic moving with Cisco’s 8 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ switching module. Designed for Cisco MDS 9000 Family environments, it delivers the bandwidth and link stability required for demanding SAN consolidation projects where latency, port consistency, and operational confidence matter. This module uses a single LC fiber channel interface and supports 8 Gbps Fibre Channel signaling, making it a practical fit for storage fabrics that need dependable short-reach connectivity without overbuying capacity. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching infrastructure, it provides a clean path to expand or refresh SAN links while staying aligned with the platform’s optics and interoperability requirements. The value here is precision. Instead of a generic transceiver, this module is purpose-built for Fibre Channel switching applications, which helps reduce compatibility risk and keeps procurement aligned with the exact MPN. A 1-year limited warranty adds a baseline of support for production deployments where downtime is expensive and component selection is scrutinized. Choose this module when the network design calls for a Cisco-qualified 8 Gbps Fibre Channel optic with LC connectivity and the operational discipline expected in enterprise storage environments.
