IBM 22R4902 850nm SFP Transceiver

Product Description

This IBM SFP transceiver, model 22R4902, operates at a wavelength of 850nm, making it suitable for short-distance communication over multi-mode fiber optic cables. The SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking devices such as switches, routers, and network interface cards that support the SFP standard. It is a critical component for establishing optical links within data centers or local area networks. The 850nm wavelength is characteristic of transceivers used for multi-mode fiber, which typically supports data rates up to 1 Gb/s or 2 Gb/s over distances up to 550 meters, depending on the fiber type (e.g., OM1, OM2, OM3). The 22R4902 facilitates the conversion of electrical signals to optical signals for transmission and vice versa, enabling high-speed data transfer between network segments. Designed for reliability and performance, this IBM transceiver is a key element in building and maintaining robust network infrastructures. Its pluggable nature allows for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations, providing flexibility for network administrators. The LC duplex connector is standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and stable link.
