Brocade 32GB FC SWL SFP 57-1000333-01

The Brocade 57-1000333-01 is a 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel short-wavelength (SWL) SFP+ optical transceiver designed for high-performance SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. It provides reliable high-speed connectivity between Brocade switches, directors, and Fibre Channel devices over multi-mode fiber (MMF).

Key Characteristics

Form Factor & Interface

• Form Factor: Hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver

• Connector Type: Duplex LC optical interface

• Fiber Type: Multi-mode fiber (MMF)

Performance

• Maximum Data Rate: 32 Gbps (supports auto-negotiation to 28.05 Gb/s, 14.025 Gb/s, 8.5 Gb/s)

• Transmit Wavelength: ~850 nm short-wavelength laser

• Typical Reach: Up to 100 meters on OM4 multimode fiber (distance varies by fiber grade)

Standards & Compliance

• Compliant with Fibre Channel standards FC-PI-6 and SFF-8472 diagnostics

• Diagnostic Monitoring (DOM/DDM): Real-time optical performance monitoring

• Meets industry electrical and optical specifications for SFP+ modules

Operational Attributes

• Hot-swappable: Enables insertion/removal without powering down the host

• Low-voltage, energy-efficient design

• Typically rated for 0 °C to +70 °C operating range (varies by supplier)

Use Cases & Compatibility

• Designed for 32 G Fibre Channel SAN fabrics requiring high throughput and low latency.

• Compatible with Brocade 32G platforms such as FC32-48, G630, G620, G610, SX6 and 7810 switches/directors when using the corresponding transceiver support matrix.

Typical Applications

• Server-to-switch SAN uplinks

• Switch-to-switch fabric links

• High-performance storage connectivity

• Data center SAN backbone infrastructure

Why It Matters

This module enables high-density, high-performance Fibre Channel connectivity essential for modern enterprise storage networks. The short-wavelength 850 nm optics and SFP+ form factor support consolidated SAN fabrics with backward interoperability to lower line speeds.
