Description

The IBM 45W050001UK is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networks. It enables 8 Gigabit per second data transfer rates, making it suitable for demanding Storage Area Network (SAN) applications where high throughput and low latency are critical. The 850nm wavelength indicates its use with multimode fiber optic cables, which are commonly employed for shorter to medium-distance connections within data centers. This transceiver utilizes an LC duplex connector, the standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. Its SFP+ form factor allows for hot-swappable installation into compatible Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and other networking equipment, facilitating easy deployment and maintenance without requiring system downtime. The module is engineered to meet stringent industry standards for reliability and performance. The 45W050001UK is an essential component for building or expanding Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure, connecting servers to storage arrays, and ensuring efficient data access. Its compatibility with IBM systems and adherence to Fibre Channel standards make it a versatile choice for various enterprise storage networking needs.
