Cisco MDS 9000 Optical Modules

Cisco MDS 9000 Family optical interface modules offer a broad range of SAN connectivity solutions for both local and extended reach. Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules for the Cisco MDS 9000 are available in either short-wave or long-wave options supporting Fibre Channel (1 and 2 G) and Gigabit Ethernet connections over distances of up to 500 meters and 10 kilometers, respectively.

Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) products provide cost-effective, multiprotocol, extended-distance connectivity by optimizing the use of the existing optical infrastructure. The Cisco CWDM SFP solution has two main components: wavelength-specific SFPs and a completely passive optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM). The Cisco CWDM solution increases the data capacity of existing fiber by up to eight times that of standard optical modules while extending the reach of Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) to up to 100 kilometers, significantly lowering cost of SAN connectivity.
