Description
The IBM 2499-2808 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module, a compact, hot-pluggable network interface that is inserted into an SFP port on network hardware such as switches, routers, or network interface cards. This module allows for flexible network configurations by enabling connectivity over various media types, including different types of fiber optic cables (multimode or single-mode) and sometimes copper cabling, depending on the specific variant of the SFP. The '2499-2808' part number indicates a specific model from IBM, likely designed for compatibility with IBM networking equipment. SFPs are standardized by the industry, ensuring interoperability between different manufacturers, although using vendor-specific modules like this IBM part often guarantees optimal performance and support within an IBM ecosystem. This particular transceiver is typically designed to support data rates of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gbps Fibre Channel connections. The exact specifications regarding transmission distance, wavelength, and fiber type (e.g., LC connector for fiber) would be detailed in the full product datasheet for the 2499-2808 model. The hot-swappable nature of SFPs allows network administrators to install or replace modules without powering down the network device, which is crucial for maintaining network uptime in enterprise environments. The IBM 2499-2808 serves as a vital component for extending network reach, connecting different network segments, or upgrading network infrastructure to support higher speeds and different media types.
