IBM 2498-2881 – Brocade 8GB 25KM ELW SFP Transceiver

Detailed Description:

The IBM 2498-2881 is an Extended Long-Wavelength (ELW) SFP transceiver crafted by Brocade, specifically designed for applications requiring data transmission over distances up to 25 kilometers. This SFP transceiver operates at an 8 Gbps speed, making it suitable for high-speed storage area networks (SANs), enterprise networking, and data center interconnects. Its extended range capability is crucial for organizations that necessitate the linkage of geographically dispersed sites without compromising on data throughput or latency. The transceiver leverages single-mode fiber (SMF) to achieve its long-range connectivity, ensuring high data integrity and minimal loss over the entire transmission distance. Compatible with various IBM networking products, it provides a reliable solution for expanding or enhancing fiber optic networks with long-distance capabilities. This extended range transceiver is an ideal choice for environments where data must travel over large distances without sacrificing speed or performance.
