Intel E65689-005 10GB Fibre Channel SFP+ 850nm TRANSCEIVER

Product Description

The Intel E65689-005 is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module engineered for 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel (10Gb FC) applications. This transceiver utilizes an 850nm wavelength, indicating its suitability for short-reach communication over multimode fiber optic cables. The SFP+ form factor allows for hot-swappable installation into compatible network switches, routers, and host bus adapters (HBAs), providing flexibility and ease of maintenance in enterprise environments. This module is designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission, making it ideal for demanding applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, and data center interconnects. The 10Gb/s speed significantly enhances data throughput compared to older 1Gb or 2Gb FC standards, enabling faster access to storage and improved application performance. The 850nm wavelength is commonly used for short-reach connections within a single building or data center, typically supporting distances up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber. The E65689-005 features an LC duplex connector, which is the standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. As a product from Intel, it is built to meet stringent quality and performance standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability within Intel's networking ecosystem and with other industry-standard equipment. This transceiver is a critical component for modern, high-bandwidth network infrastructures requiring robust and fast storage connectivity.
