Product Description
The Force10 GP-XFP-W46 is an XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module. The XFP form factor is designed for high-speed serial applications, primarily 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), Fibre Channel, and SONET/SDH. Force10 Networks (now part of Dell EMC) utilized these transceivers in their high-performance switches and routers to provide flexible and scalable network connectivity. This module features an LC duplex connector, which is the standard interface for fiber optic connections in most networking environments, ensuring a secure and reliable link. The 'W46' designation in the part number likely indicates specific operational parameters such as wavelength, fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), and transmission distance. Common XFP transceivers operate at wavelengths like 850nm (for short reach multi-mode), 1310nm (for medium reach single-mode), or 1550nm (for long reach single-mode), and support distances ranging from 300 meters to 80 kilometers or more. The XFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) governs the physical and electrical specifications, ensuring interoperability between different vendors' XFP modules and host devices. The GP-XFP-W46 would have been used to connect Force10 equipment to the network backbone, data center infrastructure, or other network segments requiring 10 Gbps throughput.
