Description

The IBM 45W0500-01 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module specifically designed for 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) applications. This module enables high-speed connectivity within storage area networks (SANs) and other Fibre Channel environments. It is intended for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables, providing a cost-effective solution for short-distance links within data centers or server rooms. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-reach multimode fiber transmissions. It typically features a Duplex LC connector, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection. While the exact distance rating is not explicitly stated in the title, 8GFC SR (Short Reach) transceivers using 850nm over MMF generally support distances up to 300 meters, making it suitable for intra-rack and inter-rack connectivity. As an SFP+ module, the 45W0500-01 is hot-pluggable. This allows for the module to be installed or removed from Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), or other compatible equipment without disrupting ongoing network operations. This hot-swappable capability is crucial for maintaining high availability and simplifying maintenance tasks in enterprise storage environments. IBM's networking components are built to deliver reliability and performance for critical infrastructure.
