Force10 GP-XFP-W45 LC Connector Transceiver

Product Description

This XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, identified by the SKU GP-XFP-W45, is a product from Force10 Networks, a company now integrated into Dell EMC. The 'W45' designation often implies specific operational parameters such as wavelength and distance, though these are not explicitly detailed in the provided title. The presence of an LC connector is standard for many fiber optic transceivers, facilitating a secure and reliable connection. XFP modules are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed communication standards. They offer a compact, hot-pluggable solution for network equipment, allowing for flexibility in network design and upgrades. The 'W' in the part number might indicate a specific wavelength range, such as CWDM or DWDM, or a particular vendor's specification for a standard wavelength. The GP-XFP-W45 would be used in switches, routers, and network interface cards to establish optical links between devices or network segments. Its specific capabilities, such as reach and supported wavelengths, are critical for determining its suitability for different network topologies and applications. Compatibility with the host device's XFP port is also a key consideration.
