IBM 2410-1815 4Gb/s SFP Transceiver (2-Packs)

Product Description

The IBM 2410-1815 is a 4Gb/s Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for high-speed data communication within Storage Area Networks (SANs) and enterprise networking environments. This transceiver module allows for the connection of Fibre Channel ports on switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and other network devices, enabling data transfer rates of up to 4 Gigabits per second. The SFP form factor is a compact, hot-pluggable module that allows network administrators to easily install or replace transceivers without disrupting network operations. The 4Gb/s speed is crucial for demanding applications that require low latency and high throughput, such as database transactions, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The transceiver typically uses an LC duplex connector for its optical interface, which is a standard for reliable fiber optic connections. Sold in packs of two, the IBM 2410-1815 provides a convenient way to equip network ports for redundant connections or to connect multiple devices. These transceivers are essential components for building and maintaining robust, high-performance storage networks, ensuring reliable and fast data exchange between servers and storage arrays. Compatibility is key, and these are designed for use with IBM equipment and other devices that adhere to Fibre Channel SFP standards.
