In the world of networking multimode fiber and data transmission, the Brocade XBR-000232 Multimode Fiber Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) transceiver plays a crucial role. This article will delve into the various aspects of this specific transceiver, providing a comprehensive understanding of its features, specifications, and applications.
Brocade XBR-000232 OverviewThe Brocade XBR-000232 is a Multimode Fiber QSFP transceiver designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. Let's break down its key components and functionalities.
Multimode FiberThe use of Multimode Fiber (MMF) is a noteworthy characteristic of this transceiver. Multimode fibers have a larger core diameter than single-mode fibers, allowing multiple modes or paths for light to propagate. This makes them suitable for short-distance transmissions within data centers and local area networks (LANs).
Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP)The Brocade XBR-000232 belongs to the Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) family. QSFP is a compact and hot-pluggable transceiver module widely used for high-speed data communication applications. It supports various data rates, making it versatile for different network architectures.
Safe Working Load (SWL)The Safe Working Load (SWL) is a critical parameter indicating the maximum stress or load a device can handle without compromising its safety. In the context of the Brocade XBR-000232, the SWL specification ensures the transceiver's reliability and durability under operational conditions.
16 Gigabit SpeedOne of the defining features of the Brocade XBR-000232 is its 16 Gigabit per second (Gbps) speed. This high data rate is essential for modern data-intensive applications, ensuring swift and efficient data transfers.
Maximum Distance Coverage on OM4The transceiver is optimized for OM4 (Optical Multimode 4) fiber, which is a high-performance multimode fiber type. The Brocade XBR-000232 can cover a distance of up to 100 meters on OM4 fiber, making it suitable for connecting network devices within the same data center or building.
66m Transmission on OM4In addition to the 100-meter coverage, the Brocade XBR-000232 offers a specific transmission distance of 66 meters on OM4 fiber. This flexibility in distance coverage provides network administrators with options when designing and implementing their network infrastructure.
Applications of Brocade XBR-000232Understanding the applications of the Brocade XBR-000232 is crucial for assessing its compatibility with different networking scenarios.
Data CentersIn the fast-paced environment of data centers, where large volumes of data are processed and transmitted, the Brocade XBR-000232 finds its niche. Its high data rate and compatibility with OM4 fiber make it ideal for connecting servers, storage systems, and switches within the same data center.
Local Area Networks (LANs)The transceiver's 16 Gbps speed is advantageous in LANs where quick and reliable data transmission is essential for seamless communication among connected devices. Whether in educational institutions, corporate offices, or government organizations, the Brocade XBR-000232 contributes to the efficiency of local network operations.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)High-performance computing environments, where computational tasks require substantial data exchange between interconnected nodes, benefit from the capabilities of the Brocade XBR-000232. Its compatibility with OM4 fiber ensures that high-speed data transfers can be maintained even in complex HPC architectures.
Telecommunication NetworksTelecommunication networks, including both wired and wireless infrastructures, demand reliable and high-speed data connections. The Brocade XBR-000232, with its QSFP form factor and 16 Gbps speed, addresses the requirements of telecommunications providers, supporting the backbone of modern communication systems.
