Product Description
The IBM 2498-2801 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, also referred to as a Mini-GBIC. It is engineered to support 8Gb/s Fibre Channel communication, adhering to the 8GBase-SW standard. This standard is optimized for short-wavelength transmissions over multimode fiber optic cables, making it suitable for high-speed data transfer within Storage Area Networks (SANs). This module is designed for short-reach applications, typically within a data center environment. The 8GBase-SW specification utilizes a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-wavelength transceivers used with multimode fiber. The SFP form factor allows for high port density on Fibre Channel switches and host bus adapters (HBAs), contributing to efficient use of space and power in enterprise environments. The 2498-2801 features an LC duplex connector, which is the industry standard for SFP modules, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic link. Its pluggable design facilitates easy installation, hot-swapping, and replacement, offering flexibility and minimizing network downtime. This transceiver is a critical component for organizations requiring robust and high-bandwidth connectivity for their storage infrastructure.
