FAQs

Q: Will this 16G SW module work at 8G or 4G?
A: Yes. It is backward compatible and can negotiate to 8GFC or 4GFC when connected to matching optics and ports.

Q: What fiber type should I use?
A: Use multimode fiber. OM3 or OM4 is recommended for longer reaches; OM2 is supported with shorter distances.

Q: Is this suitable for long-distance inter-rack links?
A: For intra–data center runs within a few hundred meters, yes. For multi‑kilometer distances, use a longwave (LW) 1310 nm module on single-mode fiber.

Q: Can I connect SW to LW across a link?
A: No. Both ends must use the same optical type and wavelength class.
