Product Brief
Brocade 16Gb/s LWL (10 km) SFP+
Highlights
• Provides high system reliability
through a rigorous qualification and
certification process.
• Eliminates issues related to SFP
incompatibility, reducing downtime
and support costs.
• Extends Fibre Channel connectivity
over distance in enterprise
environments, enabling high-
performance business continuity and
disaster recovery solutions.
• Ensures reliable FICON connectivity,
interoperability, and architectural
adherence between IBM Z
mainframes and Brocade SAN
products and storage devices.
Caution
• Do not look through the optical
ports because doing so is a potential
eye hazard.
• The SFP is an ESD sensitivity
Class2 device. It should be handled
accordingly.

Overview
Today’s enterprise data centers are undergoing an infrastructure
transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher
levels of performance and reliability to meet the increasing demands of
business. As speed and performance needs increase, optical transceivers
have become an integral part of overall system design.
The Brocade® 16Gb/s Long Wavelength (LWL) 10-km optical transceiver,
part of the Brocade family of Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical
transceivers, is optimized to fully leverage Brocade 16Gb/s director and
switch products. The Brocade 16Gb/s LWL 10-km SFPs are hot-swappable,
low-voltage (3.3V), digital diagnostic optical transceivers that support
high-speed serial links over single-mode optical fiber at signaling rates up
to 14.025Gb/s. They comply with SFP mechanical (SFF-8432), optical, and
electrical specifications (FC-PI-5) for LC duplex transceivers.
The Brocade LWL SFPs are the standard choice for use in mainframe
environments, connecting to IBM System z channels and FICON devices
over distance for business continuity and disaster recovery. Together with
Brocade switching products, they provide state-of-the-art performance,
helping IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation
while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.
Product highlights include the following:
• 1310-nm DFB laser
• FC-PI-5 compliance for 14.025/8.5/4.25Gb/s operation
• Diagnostic features per SFF-8472,
Diagnostic Monitoring Interface for
Optical Transceivers,
providing real-time monitoring of:
– Transmitted average optical power
– Received average optical power
– Laser bias current
– Temperature
– Supply voltage
• Industry-standard LC duplex connector
• 10-km link lengths at 14.025Gb/s on 9-µm single-mode fiber
• IEC 60825-1 Class 1/CDRH Class 1 laser, which is eye-safe
• Compliance with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directive
