About This Part
The Brocade 57-0000080-01 is a high-performance 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optical transceiver module. Designed for robust data transmission in enterprise storage area networks (SANs), this module facilitates reliable connectivity over extended distances. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nanometers, it is engineered to support data rates of 8 Gbps, adhering to industry standards for Fibre Channel communication. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables, and vice versa, enabling seamless communication between Brocade Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage arrays. With a specified reach of up to 25 kilometers, this transceiver is ideal for campus-wide deployments or connecting geographically dispersed data centers, offering a critical component for high-bandwidth, long-distance SAN infrastructure. It typically features an LC duplex connector for fiber termination and supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance monitoring. This Brocade 8GFC SFP+ transceiver, Part Number 57-0000080-01, is primarily deployed within Brocade Fibre Channel switches and directors, forming the backbone of high-performance Storage Area Networks. It is essential for connecting servers, storage arrays, and other SAN components across significant distances, making it invaluable for large enterprises, data centers, and telecommunication providers managing extensive IT infrastructures. The module addresses the critical need for reliable, high-speed data transfer over single-mode fiber, enabling organizations to consolidate storage resources, implement disaster recovery solutions, and support demanding virtualized environments. By facilitating long-haul connectivity, it overcomes the distance limitations of shorter-reach transceivers and copper cabling, thereby expanding the architectural flexibility of SAN designs. It serves as a vital upgrade path for existing 4GFC or 2GFC infrastructures, allowing organizations to boost their SAN performance and scalability without a complete overhaul, ensuring efficient data access and business continuity.
