Brocade XBR-000142 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Brocade XBR-000142 transceiver module is a critical component for high-speed data communication, operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. This wavelength is typically associated with longer reach applications, making it suitable for single-mode fiber optic connections that span significant distances, often up to 10 kilometers or more. Brocade, a well-known provider of storage networking solutions, designs these transceivers for reliable performance in demanding environments such as Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Ethernet networks. This module likely employs an SFP or SFP+ form factor, which are industry standards for pluggable optical transceivers, allowing for hot-swapping and easy integration into Brocade switches, HBAs, and other compatible networking hardware. The standard LC duplex connector ensures a secure and robust physical connection to the fiber optic cabling. The 1310nm wavelength is ideal for applications requiring a balance of speed and distance, bridging network segments across buildings or campuses. The XBR-000142 is engineered to deliver consistent data integrity and low latency, essential for mission-critical applications like data replication, backup, and high-performance computing. Its compatibility with various data rates, including those common in Fibre Channel (e.g., 4Gb/s, 8Gb/s) and Ethernet (e.g., 1Gb/s, 10Gb/s), makes it a versatile choice for network architects designing scalable and resilient infrastructures. Brocade's reputation for quality ensures that this transceiver meets rigorous performance standards.
