Key Features
The Brocade 32Gb/s SWL SFP+
modules are hot-swappable, lowvoltage
(3.3V) digital diagnostic
optical transceivers that support
high-speed serial links over
multimode optical fiber at signaling
rates up to 28.05Gb/s. They comply
with SFP+ mechanical (SFF-8402),
optical, and electrical specifications
(FC-PI-6) for LC duplex transceivers.
The Brocade 32Gb/s SWL SFP+ is a
multirated 850-nm SFP that complies
with 28.05/14.025/8.5Gb/s Fibre
Channel specifications. Product
highlights include the following:
• 850-nm multimode VCSEL
transmitter
• FC-PI-6 compliance for
28.05/14.025/8.5Gb/s operation
