Product Description
The IBM 41Y8596-04-UK is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networks. With a data transfer rate of 4 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), this module is crucial for enabling fast and reliable communication within Storage Area Networks (SANs) and other Fibre Channel-based infrastructure. The 850nm wavelength operation makes it suitable for short-to-medium reach applications, typically utilizing multimode fiber optic cabling. This SFP transceiver supports transmission distances of up to 550 meters over multimode fiber. This capability allows for flexible network design, accommodating connections between servers, storage devices, and switches within a data center or campus environment. The hot-pluggable nature of the SFP form factor ensures that the module can be installed or replaced without the need to power down the host equipment, minimizing downtime and simplifying network maintenance. Its compact size and low power consumption also contribute to efficient rack space utilization and reduced operational costs. The 41Y8596-04-UK is engineered to meet the stringent demands of enterprise networking, providing robust connectivity and signal integrity. It is an essential component for building scalable and high-availability storage solutions, ensuring that critical data can be accessed and managed efficiently. Whether used for server connectivity to SAN switches or for inter-switch links, this IBM SFP transceiver delivers reliable performance for demanding Fibre Channel applications.
