Description
Product Overview of the IBM 78P4004
The 78P4004 IBM SFP+ Transceivers are critical components of modern computer networks that transmit data over fiber optic cables. SFP+ stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus, which is a hot-swappable I/O device that plugs into a network switch’s SFP+ port or a network interface card’s (NIC) SFP+ slot. IBM SFP+ Transceivers convert electrical signals into optical signals that are transmitted over fiber optic cables to the receiving end, where the optical signals are converted back to electrical signals.
The 78P4004 IBM SFP+ Transceiver is a hot-swappable I/O device that allows for 16 GB data transmission over fiber optic cables using LC connectors. This transceiver is compatible with IBM Storwize V7000 Gen2 storage systems and other network devices that have SFP+ slots.
