Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs
The Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs (Figure 1) are designed to provide cost-effective Fibre Channel connectivity
for the Cisco MDS 9000 Fibre Channel switching modules. Two types of Cisco 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP are
available: the Cisco Fibre Channel Shortwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC-2G-SW) and the Cisco Fibre Channel
Longwave SFP (part number DS-SFP-FC-2G-LW). Each product offers 1/2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel
connectivity.
