About This Part
The Brocade Part Number 57-1000013-01 represents a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, a critical component within the Brocade product family engineered for robust data centre and enterprise networking environments. This hot-pluggable module is designed to facilitate high-speed optical data communication over various distances, typically deployed in Fibre Channel (FC) and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) infrastructures. As an SFP, it adheres to industry-standard form factors, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of networking equipment. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fibre optic cables and vice versa, enabling reliable and efficient data transfer. Key technical specifications often include support for data rates ranging from 1 Gbps to 8 Gbps, depending on the specific variant and intended application (e.g., 1G/2G/4G/8G Fibre Channel or 1G Ethernet). These transceivers typically utilize wavelengths such as 850nm for multimode fibre (short reach) or 1310nm for singlemode fibre (long reach), connecting via standard LC connectors. This versatility allows for flexible deployment across different network topologies and distance requirements within a data centre or campus network. The Brocade 57-1000013-01 SFP transceiver is widely deployed in mission-critical network infrastructure, including Brocade Fibre Channel switches, director-class platforms, and Ethernet switches, as well as compatible host bus adapters (HBAs) and network interface cards (NICs). Its robust design makes it suitable for demanding environments within large enterprises, telecommunications operators, and cloud service providers. These transceivers are essential for establishing high-bandwidth links between servers, storage arrays, and network switches, forming the backbone of Storage Area Networks (SANs) and high-performance Local Area Networks (LANs). They solve the problem of achieving reliable, high-speed connectivity over fibre optic cabling, overcoming distance limitations inherent with copper cabling and ensuring low latency data transfer. The 57-1000013-01 effectively replaces or upgrades older, lower-speed transceivers or direct-attach copper cables, enabling network administrators to enhance network performance, increase capacity, and extend the reach of their existing infrastructure without a complete overhaul. Its broad compatibility and proven reliability contribute to its widespread adoption in modern data centre architectures.
