Description
The IBM 85Y6278 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) optical transceiver module specifically designed for Fibre Channel networks. It enables robust and high-speed data transfer within Storage Area Networks (SANs), supporting a data rate of 8 Gb/s. This makes it suitable for demanding enterprise storage applications where low latency and high throughput are critical. This transceiver operates using an 850nm wavelength, which is standard for short-reach multi-mode fiber applications. It is engineered to achieve reliable connectivity over multi-mode fiber optic cables up to a distance of 150 meters. This range is typically sufficient for connections within a data center or between adjacent racks and server rooms. The 85Y6278 features a duplex LC connector, providing a secure and industry-standard interface for fiber optic cabling. Its SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide array of IBM and third-party networking equipment that supports this advanced pluggable interface, offering flexibility and ease of integration into existing SAN infrastructures.
