FAQ
What network speeds does this SFP+ transceiver support?
The Axiom XBR-000144-AX supports 1, 2, and 4 Gbps data rates over Fibre Channel networks. This multi-rate capability provides flexibility when connecting equipment from different generations or when configuring links for specific performance requirements in storage area networks.
What type of fiber cable is compatible with this transceiver?
This transceiver is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables using LC connectors. Single-mode fiber supports longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making this module suitable for connections between geographically separated network equipment in data center or campus environments.
Is this transceiver compatible with Brocade networking equipment?
Yes, the XBR-000144-AX is designed for Brocade-compatible Fibre Channel networks. As an MSA compliant SFP+ module, it meets the mechanical, electrical, and optical specifications required for interoperability with Brocade switches, directors, and other networking equipment supporting SFP+ transceivers.
What is the difference between 4GBase-LW and other fiber optic standards?
4GBase-LW refers to 4 Gigabit Ethernet Long Wavelength optics designed for single-mode fiber over distances up to 10 kilometers. The 'LW' designation distinguishes it from short wavelength (SW) optics for multimode fiber or very long wavelength (VLW) optics for extended distances, with each optimized for specific fiber types and transmission requirements.
