Brocade 57-1000262-01 16Gb/s SFP+ 25km Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Description

This Brocade SFP+ transceiver module is engineered to provide high-speed 16Gb Fibre Channel or Ethernet connectivity over extended distances using single-mode fiber optic cables. With a maximum reach of 25 kilometers, it is designed for demanding enterprise and data center applications that require reliable, long-haul optical links. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of Brocade switches and host bus adapters (HBAs) that support this standard. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the industry-standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and robust physical link. The use of single-mode fiber is essential for achieving such long transmission distances, as it minimizes signal dispersion and loss. The specific optical wavelength, typically 1550nm for 25km SMF links, is optimized for performance over these extended ranges. The pluggable nature of the SFP+ transceiver allows for hot-swapping, which is a critical feature for maintaining network availability and simplifying management. It enables administrators to install or replace modules without powering down the host system, thus minimizing downtime. This transceiver is a key component for building resilient and scalable storage area networks (SANs) and high-performance Ethernet infrastructures.
