Key Features

  • 4 x 16 Gbps Fibre Channel
  • QSFP+ transceiver type
  • Short-wave laser (SWL)
  • Brocade-compatible storage networking optics
  • Designed for SAN fabric connectivity
  • Compact pluggable optical module
  • Maintain SAN connectivity with 4 x 16 Gbps Fibre Channel support
  • Preserve switch port density using a QSFP+ form factor
Preserve high-speed SAN connectivity with a Lenovo Brocade-compatible SWL QSFP+ transceiver designed for 4 x 16 Gbps Fibre Channel environments. This optical module fits storage fabrics that depend on consistent throughput, predictable interoperability, and compact port density. Built for enterprise switching and storage infrastructure, it supports short-wave multimode deployments where 16 Gbps FC links are standard. The QSFP+ form factor helps conserve rack space while maintaining the optical characteristics required for dense SAN architectures. For teams refreshing or expanding Brocade-based fabrics, this transceiver provides a practical path to maintain compatibility without overprovisioning optics. Choose this module when link stability, vendor alignment, and fabric consistency matter more than lowest-cost alternatives. It is suited to environments where a mismatched optic can create avoidable support friction, qualification delays, or performance uncertainty. For procurement teams, that translates into fewer compatibility questions and a cleaner path through deployment.

Ideal For

  • Connecting Brocade-based SAN switches in enterprise storage fabrics
  • Refreshing optics in 16 Gbps Fibre Channel environments
  • Expanding port capacity in dense storage networking deployments
  • Maintaining short-wave multimode links between switches and storage arrays

Why This Product

  • 1Built for 16 Gbps Fibre Channel rather than general-purpose Ethernet optics
  • 2QSFP+ packaging supports dense SAN port layouts
  • 3Brocade compatibility reduces qualification risk in storage fabrics
  • 4SWL design suits short-reach multimode deployments
