Description

The IBM 44X196402 is a high-performance 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8Gb FC) SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module. The SFP+ form factor offers higher density and lower power consumption compared to the older SFP standard, making it ideal for modern, high-performance data center environments. This transceiver module is designed for short-reach applications, typically supporting distances up to 300 meters (m) over multi-mode fiber (MMF). It operates at a wavelength of 850 nanometers (nm), which is standard for short-wavelength, short-distance MMF communication. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection for Fibre Channel links. Compatible with IBM's range of Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and other networking equipment, the 44X196402 is a critical component for building high-speed, scalable storage area networks (SANs). It enables efficient and rapid data transfer between servers and storage devices, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications and ensuring low latency in critical storage operations.
