Deployment / Use Cases
This SFP+ transceiver is ideal for environments requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency optical connections. Its 16 GbE speed and Fibre Channel support make it suitable for connecting servers, storage arrays, and network switches in data centers and enterprise networks.
Common applications include linking storage area networks (SAN) over multi-mode fiber within a building or campus, supporting data-intensive workloads like virtualization, database operations, and media streaming. The 300-meter reach accommodates typical intra-facility runs without signal degradation.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect servers to SAN switches or between network devices over multi-mode fiber, leveraging 16 GbE speeds for efficient data flow in rack-to-rack or floor-to-floor setups.
Enterprise Network Upgrades
Upgrade existing 8 GbE or 10 GbE links to 16 GbE for improved performance in Fibre Channel networks, using compatible hardware and standard LC fiber cabling.
Physical Profile
The transceiver features a compact, hot-swappable SFP+ form factor with a depth of 2.20 inches (55.88 mm). This standardized size ensures it fits seamlessly into SFP+ slots on switches, adapters, and other network equipment, facilitating easy installation and replacement in crowded rack environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.20" (55.88 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
