Product Description
The IBM 64P0421 is a 2 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Fibre Channel SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical transceiver module. This module is classified as 'Short Wave' (SW), indicating its operation at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-distance communication over multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. It is designed for high-speed connectivity within enterprise data centers, server rooms, and storage area networks (SANs). This transceiver provides a critical link for Fibre Channel networks, enabling high-throughput data transfer between storage devices, servers (via HBAs), and Fibre Channel switches. The 2Gbps speed is essential for demanding storage I/O operations, ensuring low latency and efficient data access. The SFP form factor offers the advantage of hot-swappability, allowing for module installation or removal without interrupting network operations, which is crucial for maintaining high availability in SAN environments. The IBM 64P0421 is engineered for compatibility with IBM networking equipment and other systems that support the 2Gbps Fibre Channel SFP standard, ensuring reliable performance and integration within existing infrastructure.
