Product Features
Technical Overview
These transceivers operate at an 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, achieving a maximum reach of 300 meters with LC duplex connectors. The hot-swappable SFP+ form factor allows for easy installation and replacement without powering down the host device, minimizing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
The modules support Fibre Channel technology, which is optimized for storage area networks (SANs) to deliver low-latency, high-throughput data transfers. They are designed for use in data networking and optical network applications, providing a durable optical interface that minimizes signal loss over distance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
