Description
Product Overview
The 42C1816 IBM Qlogic 10GBase-SR SFP Optical Transceiver is a type of optical module used in fiber optic communication. It is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module that can be plugged into an SFP port on a network device such as a switch or router. This article will explain in detail the features and functions of the 42C1816 IBM Qlogic 10GBase-SR SFP Optical Transceiver.
Specification of Optical Transceiver
An optical transceiver is a device that converts electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. It is used in fiber optic communication to transmit data over long distances using light waves. The optical transceiver consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter converts electrical signals into optical signals, and the receiver converts optical signals into electrical signals.
SFP Transceiver
An SFP transceiver is a Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver module that can be plugged into an SFP port on a network device. It is a hot-swappable device, which means it can be replaced without turning off the network device. The SFP transceiver supports different types of optical fiber cables such as single-mode and multimode fiber.
10GBase-SR is a type of Ethernet protocol that supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbps over a short distance using multimode fiber optic cables. The “SR” in 10GBase-SR stands for “short reach”, which means it is designed for short-range communication within a building or campus.
