Brocade XEM-000181 10Gb/s SFP+ 300m 850nm Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Brocade XEM-000181 is a high-performance SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity over multi-mode fiber optic cables. This module is optimized for short-reach applications, commonly deployed within data centers, server farms, and enterprise network backbones where high bandwidth is critical. It supports data rates of 10Gb/s, enabling faster data transfer and improved network performance for demanding applications such as storage area networks (SANs), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and high-performance computing. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is the standard for multi-mode fiber communications. This allows for efficient signal transmission over distances up to 300 meters, making it ideal for intra-rack, inter-rack, and building backbone connections. The use of multi-mode fiber provides a cost-effective solution for these short-distance, high-bandwidth requirements. The module features a Duplex LC connector, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic patch cords. The XEM-000181 is designed for hot-swappable installation, allowing for seamless integration into compatible networking equipment without the need to power down the system. This feature simplifies network management and upgrades. Its SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking devices that support this standard, offering flexibility in network design. This transceiver is a key component for organizations looking to upgrade their network infrastructure to meet the growing demands for speed and bandwidth.
