IBM 00Y2523 8Gb/s 8GBase-SW LC Connector SFP (Mini-GBIC) Transceiver

Description

The IBM 00Y2523 is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for high-speed networking, specifically for Fibre Channel applications. Operating at 8Gb/s, this transceiver adheres to the 8GBase-SW standard, which typically utilizes a wavelength of 850nm and is intended for use with multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. The 'SW' designation in Fibre Channel standards usually indicates 'Short Wave' and is optimized for short-distance communication, commonly found within data centers or between adjacent racks. This module features an LC duplex connector, which is the standard connector for SFP modules, allowing for easy plug-and-play installation into compatible Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), or other networking equipment. The 8Gb/s speed provides significant bandwidth for storage area networks (SANs), enabling fast data transfer between servers and storage devices. Its compatibility with IBM equipment ensures seamless integration into IBM storage and server environments. The 00Y2523 transceiver is a critical component for building robust and high-performance storage networks. By converting electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, it facilitates reliable data transmission over fiber optic infrastructure. Its short-wave, multi-mode nature makes it an economical and efficient choice for intra-data center connectivity, where high throughput and low latency are essential for storage operations.
