Product Description
This IBM SFP transceiver, model 45W0496-01, is specifically designed for 4Gb Fibre Channel applications within Storage Area Networks (SANs). It operates using multi-mode fiber (MMF) and a wavelength of 850nm, making it suitable for short-distance connections within data centers. The transceiver supports data rates of 4Gb/s and can achieve distances of up to 550 meters over OM2 or OM3 multi-mode fiber. The duplex LC connector provides a standard and secure physical interface for the fiber optic cabling. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of IBM storage and networking equipment, as well as other SFP-enabled devices. This module is crucial for connecting servers to storage arrays or switches within a SAN fabric, providing high-speed access to data. It typically includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor the transceiver's performance and status, which is vital for maintaining the reliability and availability of storage infrastructure.
