IBM AFBR-57D9AMZ-IB – SW 8Gbps SFP

Detailed Description:

The IBM AFBR-57D9AMZ-IB is a Short Wave (SW) 8Gbps SFP transceiver module designed to facilitate high-speed data transmissions over fiber optic networks. This small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is engineered to support Fibre Channel (FC) network protocols, making it an essential component for modern storage area networks (SANs). With an 8 Gigabit per second bandwidth capacity, it significantly boosts data transfer rates, accommodating the rigorous data throughput demands of enterprise data centers and storage infrastructures. The transceiver operates over multimode fiber, offering a cost-effective solution for short-distance communication up to 500 meters, ideal for connecting servers, storage systems, and switches within the same building or data center. Its compatibility with IBM’s range of networking products ensures smooth integration and reliable performance, enhancing overall network efficiency and minimizing potential compatibility issues.
