Product Description
The IBM 41Y8596-04 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for 4Gb/s Fibre Channel applications. This shortwave (SW) module utilizes an 850nm laser and is intended for use with multi-mode fiber optic cabling. It provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for establishing high-speed data links within data centers, particularly for connecting servers to storage area networks (SANs) or for inter-switch links. The transceiver supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 550 meters over multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for typical data center distances. The standard LC duplex connector ensures a secure and robust physical connection. Its hot-swappable design allows for installation or replacement without the need to power down the host equipment, minimizing network downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. This IBM SFP transceiver is engineered to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of IBM networking and storage equipment, as well as other vendors' devices that adhere to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). It is a critical component for building and maintaining efficient, high-speed storage networks, offering reliable performance for mission-critical applications.
