Description
The IBM 78P1720 is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for network connectivity. Operating at a data rate of 4Gb/s, it adheres to the 1000Base-LX standard, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. This transceiver utilizes an 850nm wavelength laser, which is characteristic of multimode fiber optic communication. This module is specifically engineered for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables, allowing for network links up to a maximum distance of 550 meters. The SFP form factor ensures that it is hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from network devices without the need to power down the equipment. This feature is crucial for maintaining network uptime and facilitating maintenance or upgrades. The 78P1720 is compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, and host bus adapters (HBAs) that feature SFP ports. Its robust design and adherence to industry standards make it a reliable choice for building or expanding high-speed local area networks (LANs) and storage area networks (SANs) where fiber optic connectivity is required.
