IBM 88Y6418 850nm SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The IBM 88Y6418 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module, specifically designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. This transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm and is intended for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables. The 850nm wavelength is commonly used for short-reach optical links, making this SFP+ module suitable for connections within a data center, between racks, or across a campus environment where multimode fiber is deployed. As a hot-pluggable device, the 88Y6418 can be installed or replaced in networking equipment without the need to power down the device, ensuring minimal disruption to network operations. It provides the optical interface necessary for network devices, such as switches and network interface cards, to communicate over fiber optic cabling. The LC duplex connector is standard for SFP+ transceivers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fiber optic patch cords. This IBM transceiver is engineered to meet the performance and reliability standards required for enterprise networking. It enables high-speed data transmission, supporting the bandwidth demands of modern applications and services. The 88Y6418 is a crucial component for establishing and maintaining optical network links, providing a reliable and efficient means of data transfer over multimode fiber infrastructure.
