Description
Product Details of the IBM 77P8749
The 77P8749 IBM – 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver is a type of optical transceiver used in Fibre Channel networks. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transfer protocol commonly used in storage area networks (SANs) to connect servers to storage devices. The 77P8749 IBM – 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver is designed to provide high-speed connectivity over short distances within a SAN.
Features and Specifications
The 77P8749 IBM – 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver. SFP transceivers are hot-swappable, which means they can be inserted and removed from a device without having to power it down. This makes them a convenient and cost-effective way to upgrade or modify a network.
The 77P8749 IBM – 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver operates at a data transfer rate of 8 gigabits per second (Gbps). It uses shortwave lasers to transmit and receive data over multimode fiber optic cables. The transceiver has a maximum link distance of 150 meters when used with 50/125 micron OM3 fiber optic cable, and 300 meters when used with 50/125 micron OM4 fiber optic cable.
The 77P8749 IBM – 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver is compatible with a wide range of IBM devices, including storage arrays, switches, and servers. It is also compatible with devices from other manufacturers that support Fibre Channel connectivity.
Uses of 77P8749 IBM 8GB FC SFP Shortwave Transceiver
