Brocade XBR-000232 16Gb/s QSFP 100m 850nm MMF Transceiver

Description

The Brocade XBR-000232 is a high-performance QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for 16Gb/s Fibre Channel applications. This module is specifically engineered for short-reach deployments within data centers, enabling high-speed connectivity between switches, servers, and storage devices over multimode fiber optic cabling. Its QSFP form factor allows for higher port density compared to traditional SFP+ modules, making it ideal for environments where maximizing bandwidth per rack unit is crucial. Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, this transceiver utilizes VCSEL technology to transmit data. It supports connections up to 100 meters over standard multimode fiber (MMF), typically OM3 or OM4, which is commonly deployed in enterprise data centers. The transceiver utilizes an MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector, which houses multiple fiber strands in a single connector, enabling the parallel transmission required for 16Gb/s speeds over MMF. This allows for higher port density and simplified cabling compared to using individual fiber connections. The XBR-000232 is a critical component for building high-bandwidth, low-latency storage area networks (SANs) and Ethernet networks. Its ability to deliver 16Gb/s per lane across four lanes makes it highly efficient for aggregate bandwidth requirements. Brocade's reputation for quality and reliability ensures that this transceiver meets stringent industry standards, providing consistent performance for mission-critical applications.
