16G FC SFP+ Optical Transceiver Overview

C-LIGHT 16G FC SFP+ optical transceivers are developed for Fibre Channel storage networking and high-speed SAN connectivity. Supporting data rates up to 16Gb/s, these modules provide optical interfaces for Fibre Channel switches and other compatible storage network equipment.

The product family includes three optical configurations covering different link environments: a 100m multimode version at 850nm, a 10km single-mode version at 1310nm, and a 40km single-mode version at 1550nm. This range allows the same 16G FC platform to be used for short equipment interconnects as well as longer SAN connections.

16G FC SFP+ Optical Transceiver Key Features

16Gb/s Fibre Channel Connectivity

The optical interface supports up to 16Gb/s transmission for Fibre Channel-based storage environments and compatible high-speed networking systems.

Three Reach Configurations

The product range covers 100m, 10km, and 40km, providing different optical options for local and extended storage network links.

850nm Multimode Version

The short-reach configuration uses 850nm optics with multimode fiber and supports connections up to 100m.

1310nm Single-Mode Version

The 10km configuration operates at 1310nm over single-mode fiber for medium-distance SAN connections.

1550nm Extended-Reach Version

The 40km configuration uses 1550nm optics and single-mode fiber for longer-distance Fibre Channel links.

SFP+ Form Factor

The compact SFP+ package is designed for compatible Fibre Channel switches and high-density optical networking equipment.

LC Optical Interface

The listed configurations use LC connectors for connection to standard duplex fiber infrastructure.

Commercial and Industrial Temperature Options

The available 16G FC SFP+ configurations support commercial and industrial case-temperature selections.

16G FC SFP+ Optical Transceiver Applications

Fibre Channel Storage Networks

The primary use of the modules is Fibre Channel connectivity within storage area networks, providing optical links between storage network components.

Fibre Channel Switches

The SFP+ modules can be installed into compatible FC switch ports to establish high-speed optical connections across the storage fabric.

Data Center SAN Infrastructure

The 100m configuration can be used for short optical paths between storage equipment and Fibre Channel switching systems within data center environments.

Enterprise Storage Systems

16G FC optical links can connect storage arrays, servers, and Fibre Channel switching equipment in enterprise storage environments.

Medium-Distance SAN Links

The 10km single-mode configuration provides additional reach for storage network connections extending beyond local equipment areas.

Long-Distance Storage Connectivity

The 40km 1550nm configuration is designed for extended single-mode fiber connections between Fibre Channel network locations.

Why Choose C-LIGHT 16G FC SFP+ Optical Transceiver?

Designed Around Fibre Channel

The product is specifically positioned for Fibre Channel storage environments rather than being limited to general-purpose Ethernet applications.

Reach Matched to SAN Architecture

100m, 10km, and 40km configurations allow optical selection according to the physical layout of the storage network.

Different Fiber Technologies

The portfolio combines an 850nm MMF option for short links with 1310nm and 1550nm SMF options for progressively longer connections.

Switch Compatibility

C-LIGHT states that its 16G FC SFP+ optical modules are compatible with switches from more than 100 brands, supporting deployment across different storage network platforms.

Three-Stage Quality Inspection

C-LIGHT states that 100% of products undergo initial testing, final testing, and factory inspection before delivery.

Supply and Customization Support

C-LIGHT provides spot supply, customized optical solutions, technical guidance, compatibility testing, and after-sales support for storage network deployments.
