About This Part
The Part Number 57-1000020-01 represents a high-performance optical transceiver manufactured by Brocade, a leader in Fibre Channel networking solutions. This module is engineered for 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel (4GFC) applications, providing robust and reliable data transmission over single-mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm, it supports extended link distances of up to 30 kilometers, making it ideal for interconnecting geographically dispersed data center components or for metropolitan area network (MAN) applications. As a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, it offers hot-pluggable deployment, ensuring flexibility and ease of maintenance within Fibre Channel switches, directors, and host bus adapters (HBAs). Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission and vice versa, facilitating high-speed, low-latency data flow critical for storage area networks (SANs). This Brocade transceiver is essential for enterprise data centers, cloud service providers, and telecommunications operators requiring high-bandwidth, long-distance connectivity for their storage and network infrastructure. It is typically deployed in Fibre Channel switches, routers, and storage arrays to extend SAN fabrics across campus environments, between buildings, or for disaster recovery solutions where primary and secondary data centers are separated by significant distances. The 57-1000020-01 solves the challenge of maintaining high-performance data links over extended reaches, enabling organizations to build resilient, scalable, and geographically redundant network architectures without compromising on speed or reliability. It serves as a vital component for upgrading existing 2GFC or 1GFC infrastructure to 4GFC, or for new deployments demanding its specific reach and speed.
