IBM 00W1242 – IBM 8Gb FC SW SFP (2) Transceivers (Pair)

Detailed Description:

The IBM 00W1242 consists of a pair of 8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Short-Wave (SW) Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers designed for use in IBM storage networks and fibres channel switches. These transceivers enable high-speed data communication over optical fiber networks, facilitating data transfers at rates up to 8Gb/s. They are specifically engineered to support the robust demands of storage area networks (SANs), offering low latency and high performance for data-intensive operations. The transceivers are easy to install, providing a flexible solution to increase network bandwidth and improve the efficiency of data movement across storage networks. With their short-wave capabilities, they are suited for relatively short distances within a data center, ensuring reliable and high-quality signal transmission.
