IBM 22R6442 LC Connector Transceiver

Product Description

The IBM 22R6442 is identified primarily by its LC connector, a standard interface for modern high-speed optical transceivers. The LC connector is known for its small form factor and robust locking mechanism, making it ideal for high-density applications in enterprise networking and data centers. While the title doesn't specify the exact form factor (e.g., SFP, SFP+, QSFP), the presence of an LC connector strongly implies compatibility with these compact, pluggable modules. Transceivers with LC connectors are typically used for both Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications, supporting various data rates and fiber types (multimode or single-mode). The 22R6442 is likely designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission over fiber optic cables, connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and storage systems. Its specific technical capabilities, such as data rate, wavelength, and supported distance, would depend on the exact model variant and intended application. This component plays a crucial role in the physical layer of network connectivity, enabling the conversion of electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa. The LC connector's prevalence in modern networking hardware underscores the importance of this interface for reliable and efficient data transfer. Further technical specifications would be required to determine its precise capabilities and compatibility within a given network architecture.
