Description
The IBM 44X196201 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel applications. It enables robust and reliable data transmission at speeds of up to 8 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) over short distances. This transceiver is ideal for connecting servers, storage devices, and network switches within a data center or enterprise environment where high-speed, low-latency communication is critical. Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, this module utilizes Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology, which is standard for short-wavelength, multi-mode fiber applications. It is engineered to achieve a maximum transmission distance of 300 meters when used with appropriate multi-mode fiber optic cabling, such as OM3 or OM4. The LC duplex connector ensures a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic cables. Compliance with industry standards such as SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 guarantees interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment that supports the SFP+ form factor. The 44X196201 is built for demanding enterprise environments, offering the reliability and performance necessary for mission-critical Fibre Channel SANs (Storage Area Networks). Its pluggable nature allows for easy installation, replacement, and upgrades without disrupting network operations.
