LP32-SW-OPT-2 BROADCOM Transceiver

High-Density Fibre Channel SAN Optical Connectivity featuring 32G SR SFP+ with the LP32-SW-OPT-2

The LP32-SW-OPT-2 is a 32G Fibre Channel (FC) SR optical transceiver in an SFP+ form factor, engineered for short-reach multimode fibre (MMF) links in enterprise SAN fabrics. Designed for switch-to-switch interconnects and switch-to-host connectivity, LP32-SW-OPT-2 enables deterministic low-latency transport for storage traffic where consistent throughput and lossless operation are mandatory.

LP32-SW-OPT-2 integrates an 850 nm optical interface with LC duplex connectivity and a maximum reach of 100 m on MMF, aligning with top-of-rack and end-of-row FC deployment patterns. In 32G FC environments, the module supports refresh and upgrade paths by allowing capacity expansion through port-scale optics rather than disruptive fabric redesign, while maintaining compatibility with modern FC switching platforms and standard SFP+ operational handling.

Why Choose the LP32-SW-OPT-2?

The LP32-SW-OPT-2 provides a high port-density path to 32G FC adoption by delivering predictable short-reach optical performance in a compact SFP+ footprint. LP32-SW-OPT-2 is suited to scalable SAN growth where operational consistency, validated interoperability, and repeatable link behavior reduce risk during phased migrations and high-availability maintenance windows.

Broadcom designs optical interconnect components with a focus on enterprise reliability, controlled manufacturing tolerances, and alignment to data centre standards for fibre-channel fabrics. This engineering approach supports stable SAN operations and consistent lifecycle management across refresh cycles.

Key Applications:

• 32G Fibre Channel switch-to-switch ISL uplinks
• 32G Fibre Channel switch-to-host HBA connectivity
• Short-reach FC SAN fabric upgrades and refresh projects
• High-availability storage networking in enterprise data centres
