GE-1X2XFC-SX-I1 - Alcatel Gigabit Fibre Channel Optical SFP Transceiver Module

Description

The Alcatel-Lucent GE-1X2XFC-SX-I1 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module specifically tailored for Gigabit Fibre Channel (FC) networks. Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology primarily used in storage area networks (SANs) for connecting servers to storage devices. This SFP module enables the conversion of electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables at a rate of 1 Gigabit per second. The 'SX' designation typically signifies that the transceiver is intended for short-reach applications, commonly operating over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with a wavelength around 850nm. These links are generally suitable for distances up to 550 meters, depending on the fiber type and quality. The 'I1' suffix might indicate that the module is designed to operate within an extended or industrial temperature range, providing enhanced reliability in harsher environments compared to standard commercial-grade transceivers. Featuring an SFP form factor, this module is hot-pluggable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations. It utilizes an LC connector, which is the standard for modern SFP modules due to its small size and secure locking mechanism. The GE-1X2XFC-SX-I1 ensures reliable data transfer for demanding storage and server connectivity applications within environments that utilize Fibre Channel protocols.
