Product Description
The IBM 98Y5511 is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module specifically designed for 16Gb/s Fibre Channel networks. This module enables optical communication over long distances, utilizing a 1310nm wavelength for its Extended Long Wave (ELW) transmission capabilities. With a maximum reach of 25 kilometers, it is ideal for connecting storage area networks (SANs) across campuses, metropolitan areas, or other geographically dispersed locations where extended reach is required. This transceiver module is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and enterprise environments that rely on high-speed, reliable storage connectivity. The 16Gb/s data rate ensures low latency and high throughput for critical storage traffic, supporting demanding applications such as large-scale databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The SFP form factor allows for hot-swappable installation in compatible switches, routers, and host bus adapters (HBAs), facilitating ease of deployment and maintenance. The IBM 98Y5511 leverages advanced optical technology to provide a robust and dependable link for Fibre Channel communications. Its compatibility with ELW standards ensures optimal performance for long-haul deployments. As a genuine IBM part, it guarantees adherence to strict quality and performance specifications, ensuring seamless integration within IBM and other compatible networking infrastructures.
