IBM 46C3449-06 10Gb/s 10GBase-SR 850nm 300m SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

This IBM SFP+ transceiver module is specifically designed for high-speed networking applications requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short distances. It adheres to the 10GBase-SR standard, making it suitable for connections within racks, between adjacent racks, or across a single floor in a data center or enterprise environment. The SFP+ form factor offers a compact and hot-swappable solution, ensuring flexibility and ease of deployment. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is typical for short-reach multi-mode fiber applications. It supports transmission distances of up to 300 meters, depending on the type and quality of the multi-mode fiber used (e.g., OM3 or OM4). This makes it an economical choice for intra-building connectivity where extensive cabling runs are not required. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and reliable physical interface. The IBM 46C3449-06 is a critical component for building high-performance local area networks (LANs) and data center interconnects, offering a balance of speed, cost-effectiveness, and reliability for short-range optical links.
