Dell 430-4548 10Gb/s Channel 56 XFP Transceiver Module

Product Description

The Dell 430-4548 is a 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networking environments. The XFP form factor is a standardized, hot-pluggable module that provides high-speed connectivity for storage area networks (SANs) and other data-intensive applications. This transceiver enables servers and storage devices to communicate at very high speeds, crucial for performance-sensitive storage operations. The mention of 'Channel 56' suggests that this transceiver is configured or optimized for a specific Fibre Channel speed or protocol variant. Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology primarily used for connecting computer servers to storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries. The 10Gb/s speed ensures low latency and high throughput, which are essential for modern storage solutions. This module is designed to be inserted into XFP ports on Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), or other compatible networking equipment. Its robust design ensures reliable data transmission, minimizing the risk of data loss or performance degradation in demanding storage environments. The Dell 430-4548 is a critical component for building high-performance, scalable Fibre Channel SANs.
