Add-On DS-SFP-FC8G-ZR-AO SFP+ Optical Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On DS-SFP-FC8G-ZR-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP+ optical transceiver designed for extended-reach data transmission in surveillance and enterprise networks. It enables 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity over 80 kilometers of single-mode fiber, making it suitable for long-haul data center interconnects, campus backbones, or connecting geographically dispersed security systems where standard transceivers fall short. This module ensures reliable, high-speed data flow across significant distances without requiring signal repeaters.

Compatibility

This transceiver is engineered to be compatible with Cisco equipment and other networking devices that support SFP+ modules. It is intended for use in systems requiring 8G Fibre Channel connectivity, such as certain SAN switches, high-performance network switches, and some IP camera systems with direct fiber uplinks. Verify compatibility with your specific switch or device model before deployment.

Installation Notes

Install the DS-SFP-FC8G-ZR-AO module into an available SFP+ slot on your network device. Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and properly terminated with an LC connector. The module operates on 1550nm wavelength over single-mode fiber (SMF). It requires no specific configuration beyond being recognized by the host device. Handle the module with care to avoid electrostatic discharge.
