IBM 21R9931 1310nm Transceiver

Description

The IBM 21R9931 is a network transceiver module specifically designed for operation at a wavelength of 1310 nanometers. This characteristic makes it suitable for long-reach communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, a common requirement in enterprise and data center environments where extended distances between network devices are necessary. The module facilitates high-speed data transmission, enabling efficient and reliable connectivity between switches, routers, servers, and other network infrastructure components. While the specific form factor is not explicitly stated in the title, IBM commonly utilizes SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) or SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable) for such transceivers. These compact, hot-pluggable modules are designed for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host equipment. The 1310nm wavelength is a standard for SMF applications, offering a balance between performance and cost for medium to long-haul data links. This transceiver is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern networks, ensuring data integrity and consistent performance. Its application spans various networking scenarios, including backbone connections, storage area networks (SANs), and high-speed Ethernet links. The IBM 21R9931 contributes to building robust and scalable network infrastructures by providing a dependable optical interface.
