Compatibility depends on the specific switch model, software version, interface type, wavelength, and transceiver specification. Always verify the exact platform before ordering.

Foundry Networks & Brocade Compatibility

Foundry Networks became part of Brocade Communications Systems, and many later Foundry product families continued under Brocade branding.

Customers searching for replacement optics may therefore encounter both Foundry and Brocade part numbers or platform names.

Always match the exact OEM part number and switch requirements rather than assuming that every Brocade transceiver is interchangeable with every Foundry platform.
