Description
The IBM 49Y4218-04 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) optical transceiver module designed to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity. This module adheres to the 10GBase-SR standard, which is optimized for short-reach connections over multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. It operates at a wavelength of 850 nanometers (nm), a common choice for MMF applications due to its cost-effectiveness and performance characteristics for shorter distances. This transceiver is capable of supporting data transmission speeds of up to 10Gb/s and can achieve distances of up to 300 meters (approximately 984 feet) when used with appropriate multi-mode fiber, such as OM3 or OM4. The SFP+ form factor is widely adopted in networking equipment for its compact size and hot-pluggable capability, allowing for easy installation and replacement without powering down the network device. The module typically uses an LC duplex connector, which is standard for fiber optic connections. Specifically designed and tested for compatibility with IBM networking hardware, the 49Y4218-04 ensures reliable performance and seamless integration within IBM's network infrastructure. It is commonly used for switch-to-switch links, server connections, and other high-bandwidth applications within data centers or enterprise networks where short-to-medium reach 10GbE connectivity is required. Using vendor-specific transceivers like this one is often recommended to ensure full compatibility and support from the hardware manufacturer.
