FAQ
What network protocols does this SFP+ transceiver support?
This transceiver supports both 8 Gigabit Ethernet (8GBASE-LR) and Fiber Channel protocols, allowing it to handle data networking and storage area network (SAN) traffic simultaneously. This dual-protocol capability makes it suitable for converged network environments where both types of traffic need to be transmitted over the same fiber infrastructure.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this transceiver?
The transceiver is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables, which are designed for long-distance transmissions with minimal signal loss. Single-mode fiber supports data transfers over greater distances compared to multimode fiber, making this module ideal for connections between buildings or across large data centers.
Is this transceiver compatible with Brocade network equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is specifically designed for Brocade compatibility and is MSA compliant, ensuring interoperability with Brocade switches and other MSA-compliant hardware. This compliance provides a reliable, vendor-agnostic solution that can integrate seamlessly into existing Brocade network infrastructures.
What connectors does this transceiver use for fiber connections?
It uses LC connectors, which are standard for SFP+ modules and provide a small form factor for high-density installations. The transceiver features two LC ports: one for 8GBASE-LR network connections and one for Fiber Channel network links, supporting dual-protocol operation over a single module.
