Description
Overview of the Qlogic SFP32-SR-SP Optical Transceiver
The SFP32-SR-SP Qlogic 32G Fibre Channel (32GFC) Short-Wavelength SFP+ Optical Transceiver is a compact, hot-swappable transceiver module that is designed to enable high-speed data transmission over short distances. It is commonly used in data centers and other high-performance computing environments to connect servers, storage devices, and networking equipment.
Fibre Channel
- Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transfer technology that is used in storage area networks (SANs) and other data center environments. It is designed to provide high-speed, reliable, and scalable data transfer capabilities over long distances.
- Fibre Channel uses optical fiber cables to transfer data, and it supports data transfer rates of up to 128Gbps. It is commonly used in data centers and other high-performance computing environments to connect servers, storage devices, and networking equipment.
SFP
- SFP+ stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus. It is a hot-swappable transceiver module that is designed to support high-speed data transmission over fiber optic cables. SFP+ modules are commonly used in data center environments to connect servers, storage devices, and networking equipment.
- SFP+ modules are available in a range of different types, including short-wavelength, long-wavelength, and extended-wavelength modules. Short-wavelength modules are designed for use over short distances, typically up to 300 meters, while long-wavelength and extended-wavelength modules are designed for use over longer distances, up to several kilometers.
SFP+ Optical Transceiver
- The SFP32-SR-SP Qlogic 32G Fibre Channel Short-Wavelength SFP+ Optical Transceiver is a type of SFP+ module that is designed to support high-speed data transmission over short distances. It is compatible with Qlogic 32GFC Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and switches, and it supports data transfer rates of up to 32Gbps.
- The SFP32-SR-SP transceiver uses short-wavelength laser technology to transmit data over multimode fiber optic cables. It supports distances of up to 100 meters over OM4 fiber, and up to 70 meters over OM3 fiber. It also supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities, which enable real-time monitoring of the transceiver’s operating conditions, including temperature, voltage, and power levels.
