Using Brocade 2 km LWL QSFPs
Up to 10 ICL ports using the 2km ICL QSFP are supported in a DCX 8510 backbone switch at the two km distance, which
requires configuring 16 buffer credit per virtual channel. The 10 ICL limit is based on the number of buffers. If the 2km
QSFPs are used at shorter distances, then more ICLs can be used.
The Brocade 2 km LWL QSFP, is a hot-swappable, low-voltage (3.3 V) digital diagnostic optical transceiver that supports
high-speed serial links over parallel single-mode optical fibers at signaling rates up to 4×14.025 Gbps. The QSFP is
integrated with a 3-meter ribbon fiber cable with a male MTP 1 x 12 connector. The QSFP supports 2 km link length on
parallel single-mode fiber.
