Dell DN180 4Gb/s SFP 300m 850nm Duplex LC Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Description

The Dell DN180 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel (4GFC) applications. This module enables high-speed, reliable connectivity for storage area networks (SANs), allowing servers to communicate efficiently with storage arrays. The SFP form factor ensures that the transceiver is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from a switch or host bus adapter (HBA) without disrupting network operations. Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, the DN180 is optimized for use with multi-mode fiber optic cables. It features a Duplex LC connector, which is the standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and robust physical link. This configuration is suitable for short-range deployments, typically up to 300 meters, making it ideal for connecting servers to storage devices within the same rack or adjacent racks in a data center environment. As a Dell-branded component, the DN180 is guaranteed to be compatible with Dell's extensive range of servers, switches, and storage solutions. It plays a crucial role in building high-performance and scalable storage infrastructures, ensuring low latency and high throughput for demanding enterprise applications. The 4Gb/s speed offers a significant upgrade over previous generations, supporting the growing needs of modern data centers.
