Product Features
Technical Overview
These transceivers leverage 8GBase-SW technology, a Fibre Channel standard that provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet performance over optical fiber. The multi-mode fiber support with an 850 nm wavelength is ideal for high-speed data transmission within buildings or campuses, minimizing signal loss over distances up to 300 meters. The LC duplex connector offers a compact and secure interface, commonly used in fiber optic networking for its low insertion loss and high durability.
The SFP+ form factor is hot-swappable, enabling installation or replacement without powering down network equipment. This feature is critical for maintaining uptime in data centers and enterprise networks. The modules are manufactured in the United States and are TAA compliant, meeting government procurement requirements for trade agreements.
Key Product Advantages
This 4-pack provides a scalable solution for expanding or upgrading Fibre Channel networks without the high cost of OEM transceivers. The compatibility with HP C8R23B models ensures drop-in replacement, reducing compatibility risks and simplifying procurement. The bulk packaging offers value for deployments requiring multiple modules, such as server farms, storage area networks, or high-density switching environments.
Cost-Effective Bulk Solution
Purchasing in a 4-pack reduces per-unit costs compared to buying individual transceivers, making it economical for large-scale deployments.
- Ideal for data center rollouts
- Reduces inventory management overhead
Enhanced Network Management
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time diagnostics on temperature, voltage, and optical power, aiding in proactive maintenance.
- Supports SNMP monitoring
- Helps identify fiber issues early
Deployment / Use Cases
These transceivers are designed for data networking and optical network applications, particularly in environments requiring high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity. They excel in data centers where reliable, high-bandwidth links between servers, switches, and storage arrays are essential. The 8GBase-SW technology supports storage area networks (SANs), enabling fast data access and backup processes.
Common use cases include connecting storage devices to Fibre Channel switches, linking servers in cluster configurations, and extending network segments within a building. The multi-mode fiber compatibility makes them suitable for intra-building runs, such as between floors or across a campus, where distances do not exceed 300 meters. They are also used in audio/video transmission systems that require low-latency, high-throughput fiber links.
