Product overview

16G FC SFP+ SW is designed for 100m OM3 / 125m OM4 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+ SW form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • Duplex LC interface for 100m OM3 / 125m OM4 links.

  • Parallel multimode 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+ SW, 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+ SW selection questions

How far will 16G FC SFP+ SW run on OM3 versus OM4?

The specification lists 100m OM3 / 125m OM4. Multimode reach is bounded by modal bandwidth, so the fiber grade already in the ground decides the usable distance rather than the module. Re-check the loss budget whenever patch panels or splices sit in the path.

Can 16G FC SFP+ SW be used over single-mode fiber?

No. 16G FC SFP+ SW is a multimode transceiver on Duplex LC; driving it into single-mode fiber loses far too much power to close the link. Match the module to the installed fiber, or select a single-mode PMD instead.

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

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+ SW also state the installed fiber grade, the Duplex LC trunk type and the measured link distance. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
