Product Description
The IBM 45W0493-01 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for short-wavelength optical communication over multimode fiber. Operating at speeds of up to 4Gb/s, this module is suitable for both Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications, making it a versatile component for various networking needs within an IBM infrastructure. The 4GBase-SX designation indicates its compatibility with the IEEE 802.3z standard for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. This transceiver utilizes an 850nm laser and is optimized for use with multimode fiber optic cables, allowing for reliable data transmission up to a distance of 550 meters. This makes it ideal for connecting devices within a data center, connecting switches in adjacent racks, or for campus network links where shorter distances are involved. The hot-pluggable nature of the SFP form factor allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to network operations. The IBM 45W0493-01 is a crucial component for enabling high-speed optical connectivity in IBM systems that feature SFP ports, such as switches, routers, and network interface cards. Its compatibility with a range of IBM networking hardware ensures seamless integration and reliable performance for storage area networks and high-speed Ethernet connections.
