Transceivers and cables
With the flexibility of the DB730S FC SAN Switch, customers can choose the following connectivity
technologies:
SFP-DD ports
For 64G FC links, customers can use 64G FC SFP-DD SWL optical transceivers for
distances up to 100 meters on OM4 or up to 70 meters on OM3 50 µ MMF cables. These
transceivers can operate at 64G, 32G, or 16G speeds.
SFP+ ports
For 64G FC links, customers can use 64G FC SFP+ SWL optical transceivers for distances
up to 100 meters on OM4 or up to 70 meters on OM3 50 µ MMF cables. For longer distances,
the 64G FC LWL SFP+ optical transceivers can support up to 10 km on SMF cables. These
transceivers can operate at 64G, 32G, or 16G speeds.
For 32G FC links, customers can use 32G FC SFP+ SWL optical transceivers for distances
up to 100 meters on OM4 or up to 70 meters on OM3 50 µ MMF cables. For longer distances,
the 32G FC LWL SFP+ optical transceivers can support up to 10 km on SMF cables. These
transceivers can operate at 32G, 16G, or 8G speeds.
For 10G FC links, customers can use 10G FC SFP+ SWL transceivers for distances up to
125 meters on OM4 or up to 100 meters on OM3 50 µ MMF cables, or 10G FC SFP+ LWL
transceivers for distances up to 10 km on SMF cables. 10G FC operations allow metro
connectivity by directly utilizing a fiber optic cable between sites or by creating multiple
channels on an optical cable between sites, utilizing Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)
technology (the Extended Fabric feature is NOT required for long distance 10G FC
connectivity).
1 GbE RJ-45 management port: Customers can use UTP cables for distances up to 100 meters.
The DB730S FC SAN Switch comes with 48 x 64G FC SWL SFP+ transceivers. Additional SWL, LWL, and
ELWL SFP+ transceivers can be ordered for the switch, if needed.
The following table lists the supported transceiver and cable options (POD kits and switches come with
SWL optics included).
