Description
The IBM 41Y8596-01-CT is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networking applications. It provides a reliable and efficient way to connect network devices, such as switches and servers, over short to medium distances within a data center or storage area network (SAN). The module operates at a data rate of 4 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), ensuring high-speed data transfer for demanding storage and networking workloads. This transceiver utilizes an 850nm wavelength, which is standard for short-reach multi-mode fiber optic connections. It is engineered to achieve a maximum transmission distance of up to 550 meters when used with appropriate multi-mode fiber optic cabling (e.g., OM3 or OM4). The SFP form factor allows for hot-swapping, meaning the module can be inserted or removed from a compatible port without the need to power down the host device, facilitating easier maintenance and upgrades. The 41Y8596-01-CT is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that supports the SFP standard, including various IBM systems and third-party devices. Its robust design ensures reliable performance and signal integrity, making it a crucial component for building and maintaining efficient Fibre Channel SANs. This transceiver is an essential part of storage connectivity, enabling high-speed access to data resources.
