Description
Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver Technology
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver is a high-performance optical transceiver module that uses Long Wave Length (LWL) technology. LWL technology is used for transmitting high-speed data over long distances using fiber optic cables.
The SFP+ form factor of the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver is specifically designed for high-speed communication applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and Fibre Channel (FC) applications. The SFP+ form factor is a small, hot-pluggable transceiver module that is designed to provide high-speed communication over fiber optic cables.
The LWL technology used in the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver allows for data transmission over longer distances than traditional multimode fiber (MMF) technology. LWL technology uses single-mode fiber (SMF) cables that have a smaller core diameter and allow for the propagation of only one mode of light, resulting in lower dispersion and attenuation of the signal.
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver is designed to support transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF) cables. This makes it suitable for use in long-distance communication applications, such as in data centers or wide-area networks.
The LWL technology used in the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver provides high-performance and reliable communication over long distances, making it an ideal solution for high-speed communication applications that require long-distance connectivity.
Fiber Channel Communication Protocol
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver supports the Fibre Channel (FC) communication protocol. Fibre Channel is a high-speed network protocol used primarily for storage area networks (SANs) and other high-performance computing applications.
The FC protocol is designed to provide reliable and high-speed communication between servers, storage devices, and other networked devices. It is commonly used in data centers and other enterprise environments to provide high-performance and scalable storage solutions.
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver is specifically designed to support the high-speed communication requirements of FC applications. It provides a data transfer rate of up to 8 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over distances of up to 10 kilometers using single-mode fiber (SMF) cables.
The FC protocol is a widely adopted standard in the industry and is supported by a wide range of networking equipment from various vendors. This provides flexibility and interoperability in network design and allows for the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver to be used with a wide range of compatible equipment.
The support for the Fibre Channel communication protocol in the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver makes it an ideal solution for high-performance storage and computing applications that require reliable and high-speed communication between networked devices.
Transmission Distance and Cable Type Support
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver is designed to support transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF) cables. Single-mode fiber cables have a smaller core diameter than multimode fiber (MMF) cables, allowing for the transmission of data over longer distances with lower attenuation and dispersion.
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver is not designed to work with multimode fiber (MMF) cables, which have a larger core diameter and are typically used for shorter distance transmission. Instead, it is specifically designed to work with single-mode fiber (SMF) cables that are optimized for long-distance transmission.
In addition to supporting single-mode fiber (SMF) cables, the HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 transceiver also supports a range of other cable types, including 8.3/125 ?m, 9/125 ?m, and 10/125 ?m single-mode fiber cables. The transceiver is also compatible with standard LC connectors, which are commonly used in fiber optic networking equipment.
The HPE Brocade Xbr-000172 8-Pack 8GB 10km Fibre Channel Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver is designed to support long-distance communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) cables, providing reliable and high-speed communication over distances of up to 10 kilometers. It is important to note that this transceiver is not designed to work with multimode fiber (MMF) cables and should only be used with compatible networking equipment and cable types.
