Dell 430-4550 10Gb/s Channel 53 XFP Transceiver Module

Product Description

The Dell 430-4550 is a 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, specifically engineered for Fibre Channel networking. The XFP form factor is a compact, hot-pluggable module that enables high-speed data transfer, commonly utilized in storage area networks (SANs) to connect servers to storage devices. This transceiver is built to meet the performance demands of modern storage infrastructures. The 'Channel 53' specification suggests a particular configuration or speed setting within the Fibre Channel protocol. Fibre Channel is the industry-standard protocol for high-speed data transfer in storage networks, ensuring efficient and reliable access to storage resources such as disk arrays and tape libraries. The 10Gb/s speed is essential for applications requiring low latency and high throughput, including databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing environments. This module is designed for insertion into XFP ports on Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), or other compatible storage networking equipment. Its robust design and adherence to industry standards guarantee consistent and reliable data transmission, which is critical for mission-critical storage operations. The Dell 430-4550 is a key component for building high-performance and scalable Fibre Channel SANs.
