Product Description
The IBM 23R1704 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networking applications. It operates at a data rate of 4.25Gb/s, which is a common speed for Fibre Channel SANs (Storage Area Networks), providing reliable connectivity for storage devices and servers. The module is engineered for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, which allows for signal transmission over longer distances compared to multimode fiber. This transceiver supports a maximum transmission distance of 4 kilometers, making it suitable for medium-range connections within a data center or between nearby buildings. It utilizes a 1310nm wavelength for transmission, a standard wavelength for SMF applications in this speed class. The module is equipped with a duplex LC connector, which is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and robust physical link. The IBM 23R1704 is a hot-pluggable module, meaning it can be installed or removed from a network device without the need to power down the system, minimizing network downtime. Its compatibility with IBM systems and adherence to SFP standards ensure seamless integration into existing Fibre Channel infrastructure. This transceiver is a critical component for maintaining high availability and performance in storage area networks.
