Product Description
The IBM 45W0501-01-CT is an 8Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module designed for high-performance storage area networks (SANs). It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-reach communication over multimode fiber (MMF). This makes it an ideal choice for connecting servers to storage arrays within a data center or across closely located facilities. The module utilizes an LC duplex connector, providing a secure and reliable physical interface for the optical fiber. Its 8Gb/s speed ensures high throughput for demanding enterprise applications, supporting efficient data transfer for critical business operations. The SFP+ form factor allows for easy installation and hot-swapping in compatible IBM and third-party Fibre Channel switches and host bus adapters (HBAs). This transceiver is optimized for use with multimode fiber, offering a cost-effective solution for shorter distance connectivity compared to single-mode fiber. It adheres to industry standards for Fibre Channel, ensuring interoperability and reliable performance in diverse SAN environments. The 45W0501-01-CT is a key component for building robust and scalable storage infrastructure.
