Description
The IBM 46N5338 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module, engineered to support data rates of up to 10 Gb/s. This module is specifically designed for short-reach communication links over multi-mode fiber (MMF) infrastructure, commonly found in data center and enterprise network environments. Its 850nm wavelength is optimized for efficient operation with MMF, leveraging technologies like VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser). The transceiver utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the industry standard for reliable and secure fiber optic connections, ensuring precise alignment for optimal signal integrity. The typical maximum transmission distance for an 850nm SFP+ module over multi-mode fiber is dependent on the fiber type, often reaching up to 300 meters for OM3 fiber and potentially further for OM4 or OM5 fiber. This makes it ideal for switch-to-switch or server-to-switch connections within racks or across data halls. Designed for hot-swappability, the 46N5338 allows for network expansion and maintenance without requiring system downtime. It adheres to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement), ensuring compatibility with a wide array of networking equipment from IBM and other vendors that support the SFP+ form factor. This makes it a versatile and cost-effective solution for upgrading network infrastructure to higher speeds.
