Alcatel-Lucent GE-1X2XFC-SX-C1 Gigabit Fibre Channel Optical SFP Transceiver Module

Product Description

The Alcatel-Lucent GE-1X2XFC-SX-C1 is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for Gigabit Fibre Channel (1Gbps) applications. This module enables short-wavelength optical communication, typically used for connections within a data center or between closely located equipment. Its compact SFP form factor allows it to be plugged into a wide range of networking devices, including switches, routers, and host bus adapters, providing flexible and modular network expansion. The transceiver utilizes an LC duplex connector, which is standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. The 'SX' designation indicates its suitability for short-distance links, typically up to 550 meters over multi-mode fiber (MMF). This makes it an ideal choice for building high-speed storage area networks (SANs) or connecting servers to Fibre Channel infrastructure within the same building or campus. This module is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise networks, offering reliable data transmission and low latency. It is a critical component for ensuring the performance and availability of Fibre Channel SANs, supporting applications that require high bandwidth and consistent connectivity. The GE-1X2XFC-SX-C1 is a testament to Alcatel-Lucent's commitment to providing robust optical networking solutions for modern data infrastructures.
