Product Description
This IBM SFP transceiver, part number 2498-2401, is specifically designed for Fibre Channel networks operating at 4 Gb/s. It employs a short-wave optical signal, typically operating at 850nm, which is standard for multi-mode fiber (MMF) applications. The SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and other SAN infrastructure components that support the SFP standard. The module facilitates high-speed data transmission between servers and storage devices within a Storage Area Network. Its 4 Gb/s capability provides significant bandwidth for demanding enterprise storage applications. The use of multi-mode fiber allows for cost-effective connectivity over moderate distances, typically up to 384 meters for 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel, depending on the fiber grade (e.g., OM3). Featuring an LC duplex connector, the 2498-2401 ensures a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic link. As a hot-swappable component, it allows for easy installation, replacement, or upgrades without requiring downtime of the SAN, contributing to high availability and simplified network management. This transceiver is a crucial element for building and maintaining efficient and high-performance storage networks.
