Description
Product Description
The 44W4411 IBM 10GBE 850NM Fibre SFP Transceiver is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for use with the IBM BladeCenter chassis. In this article, we will explain the technical specifications of this transceiver module and how it can be used in a data center environment.
What is an SFP Transceiver Module
A transceiver module is an electronic device that both transmits and receives signals. It is typically used in networking equipment such as switches, routers, and servers. An SFP transceiver module is a type of transceiver that is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted and removed from a device while it is still powered on. SFP transceiver modules come in a variety of types, including copper and fiber-optic, and they support different types of data rates and communication protocols.
44W4411 IBM 10GBE Transceiver Specifications
The 44W4411 transceiver module is designed specifically for use with the IBM BladeCenter chassis. It supports 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) data rates and uses a multi-mode fiber-optic cable with a wavelength of 850 nanometers (nm). It complies with the SFP+ MSA (multi-source agreement) and is designed to be hot-swappable.
One of the key features of the 44W4411 transceiver is its small form factor. It measures only 8.5mm in height, 13.4mm in width, and 56.5mm in depth, making it ideal for use in space-constrained environments. It also has a low power consumption of 1 watt, making it energy-efficient.
The 44W4411 transceiver module supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) functions, which allows for real-time monitoring of the transceiver’s performance. This can be useful for troubleshooting and performance optimization in a data center environment.
Compatibility
The 44W4411 transceiver module is designed specifically for use with the IBM BladeCenter chassis. It is compatible with the following IBM BladeCenter models:
- BladeCenter H
- BladeCenter HT
- BladeCenter S
- BladeCenter T
It is important to note that the 44W4411 transceiver is not compatible with other types of BladeCenter chassis or other types of networking equipment. It is important to verify compatibility before purchasing and installing any transceiver module.
Overall, the 44W4411 IBM 10GBE 850NM Fibre SFP Transceiver is a high-performance transceiver module designed for use with the IBM BladeCenter chassis. It supports 10GbE data rates and uses a multi-mode fiber-optic cable with a wavelength of 850nm. Its small form factor and low power consumption make it ideal for use in space-constrained environments.
