Dell N6YGK 1Gb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 850nm Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The Dell N6YGK is a standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, often referred to as a mini-GBIC. This particular module is designed for use with Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) optic cables and operates at a wavelength of 850nm. Its primary application is for short-reach network connections, typically within a single building, data center rack, or between adjacent network closets. The LC connector is the standard interface for this type of fiber optic transceiver. This transceiver enables network devices such as switches, routers, and network interface cards to establish Gigabit Ethernet connections over fiber optic cabling. The 1Gb/s speed is suitable for a wide range of enterprise networking tasks, including connecting end-user devices, servers, and aggregation switches where extreme bandwidth is not the primary requirement. The hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations, contributing to the overall flexibility and manageability of the network infrastructure. The Dell N6YGK module is a cost-effective solution for extending network connectivity using fiber optics, offering advantages over copper cabling in terms of distance and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It is compatible with Dell networking equipment and other devices that support the SFP form factor, making it a versatile component for building or expanding enterprise networks. Its 850nm wavelength and MMF support are optimized for performance over the specified distances.
