IBM 2808-2498 – 8Gbps SW SFP 8-pack

Detailed Description:

The IBM 2808-2498 comprises an 8-pack of 8Gbps Short Wave (SW) SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, designed for use in high-speed network and storage environments. These transceiver modules enable fiber optic links that support data transfer rates of up to 8 Gigabits per second, making them an ideal solution for SAN (Storage Area Network) connectivity and high-speed data networks requiring efficient and reliable data transfer. Each SFP module in the pack is engineered to facilitate short-range communication over multimode fiber optic cables, typically extending up to 150 meters (depending on the fiber quality and other factors). This makes them well-suited for connecting servers, storage systems, and network switches within a data center or across closely situated buildings. By offering these SFPs in a convenient 8-pack, IBM enables organizations to scale their network infrastructure to meet increasing bandwidth demands, ensuring high levels of data integrity and transmission speed. The IBM 2808-2498 set underscores IBM’s commitment to providing versatile, high-performance networking solutions to support the complex requirements of modern IT environments.
