Description
The IBM 41Y8596-02 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel (4Gb FC) applications. This module adheres to the 4GBase-SW standard, which is optimized for short-reach communication over multi-mode fiber (MMF). It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, a common specification for MMF transceivers used in Fibre Channel environments. With a maximum transmission distance of 550 meters, this SFP transceiver is well-suited for use within data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks where high-speed connectivity is required between servers, storage devices, and SAN switches over shorter distances. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the standard interface for MMF connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. The 41Y8596-02 provides essential connectivity for storage area networks, enabling efficient data transfer for applications such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and server virtualization. Its SFP form factor allows for easy installation and hot-swapping in compatible networking equipment. This IBM transceiver is designed for reliability and performance in mission-critical storage infrastructure.
