IBM 88Y6056 850nm SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The IBM 88Y6056 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, making it suitable for short-reach connections over multi-mode fiber optic cables. The SFP+ form factor allows for hot-swappable installation, enabling network administrators to add or replace modules without interrupting network traffic. This transceiver utilizes an LC duplex connector, which is standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable link. It is designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks where high bandwidth and low latency are crucial. The 850nm wavelength is commonly used for short-reach links, typically up to 300 meters on OM3 multi-mode fiber or 400 meters on OM4 multi-mode fiber, providing cost-effective connectivity within racks or across data center floors. As a component designed for IBM networking infrastructure, the 88Y6056 ensures compatibility and optimal performance within IBM switches, routers, and other network devices. Its robust design and adherence to industry standards guarantee reliable data transmission for critical business operations, supporting applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, and high-definition video streaming.
