NETAPP X65404 – Netapp SFP28 25GB SR Transceiver

Detailed Description:

The NETAPP X65404 SFP28 25GB SR Transceiver is an essential hardware component designed for high-speed data transmission over optical fiber networks. Engineered for reliability and exceptional performance, this transceiver module is compatible with the SFP28 socket on NetApp equipment. Capable of supporting up to 25 Gigabits per second (Gbps), it provides a significant upgrade in speed and efficiency for data centers and enterprise networks. The ‘SR’ in its name stands for ‘Short Range,’ indicating its optimization for relatively short distances, typically up to 100 meters over multimode fiber. This is ideal for intra-building links or connecting equipment within the same data center. The module uses the 850nm wavelength for optical transmission, a standard for multi-mode fiber communications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of existing network infrastructures. Its low power consumption and hot-swappable design allow for minimal downtime and easy maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for expanding network capacity or upgrading current systems. The NetApp X65404 transceiver also includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) functionalities, providing real-time access to device operating parameters such as temperature, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, received optical power, and transceiver supply voltage. This aids in proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, ensuring high availability and reliability of network services. Designed with NetApp’s stringent quality and performance standards, this transceiver is a crucial component for data centers requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections for applications such as high-performance computing, cloud services, and data storage.
