Product Description
The IBM 23R1492 is a high-performance 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module, also known as a mini-GBIC. This module is specifically designed for long-distance communication, capable of transmitting data up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber optic cable. Its 4 Gb/s speed makes it suitable for demanding Storage Area Network (SAN) applications where high bandwidth and low latency are critical for storage access and data transfer. This SFP module converts electrical signals from the host device (such as a Fibre Channel switch or Host Bus Adapter) into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic infrastructure, and vice versa. The use of single-mode fiber and long-wave optics allows for the extended reach of 10km, making it an ideal choice for connecting SAN components across large enterprise facilities, between data centers, or over metropolitan area networks. As a hot-pluggable device, the 23R1492 can be installed or removed from a compatible SFP port without interrupting network operations, ensuring high availability and simplifying maintenance. It is a crucial component for building scalable and robust Fibre Channel SANs that require reliable, high-speed connectivity over significant distances.
