850nm Multimode Solution

The 300m configuration operates at 850nm over multimode fiber for short-distance equipment connectivity.

1310nm Single-Mode Options

1310nm configurations support 10km, 20km, and 40km transmission over single-mode fiber.

1550nm Extended Reach

1550nm configurations are available for 40km and 80km single-mode fiber links where longer optical reach is required.

Standard SFP Packaging

The SFP form factor provides a compact pluggable design for compatible Fibre Channel networking equipment.

LC Optical Connection

The listed 4G FC SFP configurations use LC connectors for integration with compatible fiber infrastructure.

Commercial and Industrial Options

The product range includes commercial and industrial case-temperature selections for different operating conditions.

4G FC SFP Optical Transceiver Applications

Fibre Channel Storage Networks

The 4G FC SFP provides optical connectivity for Fibre Channel storage fabrics connecting servers, switches, and storage resources.

Storage Area Networks

The modules can be deployed in SAN environments where dedicated Fibre Channel optical links are used for storage traffic.

Fibre Channel Switches

Compatible FC switches can use the SFP modules to establish optical connections between different parts of the storage fabric.

Enterprise Computing

The modules can support optical connectivity between computing infrastructure and Fibre Channel storage equipment.

Data Center Storage Links

The 300m multimode configuration is suitable for shorter optical connections within data center storage environments.

Extended SAN Connections

The 20km, 40km, and 80km single-mode configurations provide options for storage network links extending across longer fiber routes.

Why Choose C-LIGHT 4G FC SFP Optical Transceiver?

Wide Distance Selection

The 4G FC SFP portfolio spans five reach classes, allowing network operators to select an optical configuration according to the actual link distance.

Three Optical Wavelength Platforms

The combination of 850nm, 1310nm, and 1550nm versions gives the product family flexibility across multimode and single-mode fiber environments.

Dedicated Storage Networking

The product is designed around Fibre Channel applications, making it suitable for storage-oriented infrastructures rather than relying solely on general-purpose Ethernet connectivity.

Extended 80km Configuration
