Description

The IBM FTLF1429P3BCV-IC is a high-performance 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module. It is specifically designed for long-reach applications, utilizing long-wave (LW) optics to transmit data over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables for distances of up to 10 kilometers. This makes it an essential component for extending Storage Area Networks (SANs) across larger distances, such as between buildings on a campus or across metropolitan areas. The SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of enterprise-grade switches, routers, and host bus adapters that support this interface. Its hot-pluggable nature allows for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations, which is critical for maintaining high availability in demanding SAN environments. This transceiver is engineered to deliver reliable and high-speed data transfer, crucial for mission-critical applications that rely on Fibre Channel connectivity, such as enterprise storage, data replication, and high-performance computing. The combination of 16 Gbps speed, long-wave optics, and single-mode fiber support makes the FTLF1429P3BCV-IC a robust solution for scalable and extended SAN deployments.
