BROCADE 57-0000088-01 – BROCADE 16GB SFP+ 850NM SW

Detailed Description:

The BROCADE 57-0000088-01 is a 16 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module, designed for short-wave (SW) applications across multimode fiber. This high-performance transceiver module supports a data rate of up to 16 Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including storage area networks (SANs), data centers, and enterprise networking. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, allowing for data transmission over distances typical for intra-building, rack-to-rack, or across data centers scenarios—generally up to 100 meters on OM4 multimode fiber. The inclusion of Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities enables real-time tracking of the module’s operational parameters, such as temperature, laser bias current, and both transmitted and received optical powers, ensuring the system’s reliability and aiding in preventive maintenance. The transceiver’s compatibility with Brocade networking equipment means it can be seamlessly integrated into existing networks, facilitating an upgrade to higher data rates without extensive infrastructure changes. Its hot-swappable design also ensures minimal downtime during upgrades or replacements, maintaining continuous network operations.
