Product overview

16G FC SFP+ LW is designed for 10km links using Duplex LC. Selection must confirm the host form factor, electrical interface, PMD, FEC, fiber mapping, power and thermal limits, software version and the remote endpoint; the model name alone does not establish interoperability.

  • SFP+ LW form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • Duplex LC interface for 10km links.

  • Pluggable optical transmission; confirm the exact fiber or cable assembly before ordering.

  • Validate host coding, FEC, diagnostics, power, thermal behavior and long-duration stability.

Selection and deployment notes

  • Before ordering 16G FC SFP+ LW, confirm the exact host, software, port mode, reach, fiber or cable, connector, FEC, temperature, quantity, compatibility coding and delivery version.

Selection FAQ

16G FC SFP+ LW selection questions

How far will 16G FC SFP+ LW run in practice?

16G FC SFP+ LW is listed for 10km over duplex single-mode fiber on Duplex LC. What decides it on site is the total loss budget: fiber attenuation plus every connector, splice and patch panel in the path. Measure the installed link rather than trusting the reach label.

Do I need an attenuator when testing 16G FC SFP+ LW on a short patch cord?

Often yes. 16G FC SFP+ LW is built to drive 10km, so on a few metres of fiber the received power can exceed the receiver overload point, which shows up as errors or a link that will not stay up. Check the overload figure in the ordering specification and attenuate the bench setup accordingly.

What do I need to specify to request a quote for 16G FC SFP+ LW?

Give the host vendor, model and software version at both ends, the SFP+ port or lane mode, the operating temperature range, the quantity per site and the target delivery date. For 16G FC SFP+ LW also state the measured link distance, fiber attenuation and the number of connectors and splices in the path. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
