Optimized, Certified Optical 
Transceivers for High-Performance  
Data Center Fabrics
Today’s enterprise data centers are 
undergoing an infrastructure transformation, 
requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, 
and higher levels of performance and 
reliability to better meet the demands 
of business. As speed and performance 
needs increase, optical transceivers—once 
considered a generic component of Fibre 
Channel switching technologies—have 
become an integral part of overall system 
design. However, optical transceiver design 
margins and parameters vary widely, and 
can be the difference between an optimized, 
highly reliable fabric and incompatibility 
issues that drive up support costs.
The Brocade
®
 4 Gbit/sec Short Wavelength 
(SWL) optical transceiver, part of the 
Brocade family of Small Form-Factor 
Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, 
is optimized to fully leverage Brocade 
backbone, director, and switch products. 
Together, these optical transceivers 
provide state-of-the-art performance, 
helping IT organizations achieve new 
levels of infrastructure consolidation 
while expanding the capabilities of their 
applications and services.
END-TO-END COMPATIBILITY  
AND RELIABILITY
Brocade 4 Gbit/sec SWL optical transceivers 
support highly reliable operations in data 
center fabrics and are optimized for Brocade 
switching platforms. They undergo rigorous 
qualification and certification testing that 
results in an end-to-end solution that is 
easier to maintain—helping improve the 
availability of data center fabrics supporting 
mission-critical applications.
KEY FEATUREs
Brocade 4 Gbit/sec SWL SFPs are hot-
swappable, low-voltage (3.3 V) digital 
diagnostic optical transceivers that support 
high-speed serial links over multimode optical 
fiber at signaling rates up to 4.25 Gbit/sec. 
They comply with SFP mechanical (SFF-8432), 
optical, and electrical specifications (FC-PI-4) 
for LC duplex transceivers. 
The Brocade 4 Gbit/sec SWL optical 
transceiver is a multi-rated 850 nm SFP that 
complies with 4.25/2.125/1.0625 Gbit/sec 
Fibre Channel specifications.
