Product Description
The IBM FTLF8529P3BCV-IC, identified by part number 78P2856, is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) optical transceiver designed for 16Gb Fibre Channel (FC) networks. This short-wave (SW) module operates at a wavelength of 850nm, making it suitable for short-distance communication within data centers, typically up to 100 meters over OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber. It is a crucial component for connecting servers, storage arrays, and Fibre Channel switches in a storage area network (SAN). The SFP+ form factor is a compact, hot-pluggable module that allows for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations, ensuring high availability. The transceiver features an LC duplex connector, which provides a secure and reliable physical connection for the optical fiber, supporting the full-duplex communication required for demanding storage traffic. This IBM transceiver is engineered to deliver high throughput and low latency, essential for modern enterprise storage environments. It supports critical applications such as virtualization, database operations, and high-performance computing. The FTLF8529P3BCV-IC ensures reliable and efficient data transfer, contributing to the overall performance and stability of the SAN infrastructure.
