About This Part
The Brocade 57-1000014-01 is a high-performance optical transceiver module, specifically an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) designed for Fibre Channel networks. This module facilitates reliable, high-speed data transmission over medium distances within enterprise data centres and storage area networks (SANs). Operating at a data rate of 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel (4GFC), it supports a maximum link distance of 4 kilometres (4Km) when utilized with single-mode fibre optic cabling. The transceiver operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm, making it suitable for applications requiring extended reach compared to multi-mode alternatives. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission and vice-versa, ensuring seamless connectivity between Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage arrays. The compact SFP form factor allows for hot-pluggable installation, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance in dense networking environments. This Brocade transceiver is predominantly deployed within Storage Area Networks (SANs) where high-throughput, low-latency connectivity is critical for data-intensive operations. It is compatible with a wide range of Brocade Fibre Channel switches and directors, as well as other industry-standard networking equipment that supports SFP form factor transceivers. Typical installations include connecting core SAN switches to edge switches, or linking switches to remote storage arrays and servers within large data centre campuses or across different buildings. Industries such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and cloud service providers leverage such modules to ensure robust data access and replication. The 57-1000014-01 module solves the challenge of extending Fibre Channel links over several kilometres, enabling geographically dispersed data centre components to communicate effectively without compromising performance. It serves as a vital component for expanding existing SAN infrastructure or upgrading from slower 1GFC or 2GFC links to meet increasing data demands.
