About This Part
The Brocade 57-1000294-01 is a high-performance QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) optical transceiver module engineered for demanding data center and storage area network (SAN) environments. This module is designed to support 64 Gigabit Fibre Channel (64GFC) applications, utilizing four independent 16GFC lanes for an aggregate bandwidth of 64 Gbps. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, it employs Short Wave (SW) optics, making it suitable for multi-mode fiber connections over distances typically up to 100 meters, depending on the fiber type. Its primary function is to enable high-speed, reliable data transmission between Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage arrays, ensuring low latency and high throughput critical for enterprise-grade storage infrastructure. This QSFP28 transceiver is typically deployed in high-density Fibre Channel switches and directors from Brocade, as well as compatible networking platforms requiring robust 64GFC connectivity. It is essential for organizations upgrading their SAN infrastructure to support next-generation storage technologies, virtualized environments, and flash-based arrays that demand increased bandwidth. The Part Number 57-1000294-01 facilitates the creation of high-speed inter-switch links (ISLs) and host-to-storage connections, solving bottlenecks in data-intensive operations. Industries such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and cloud service providers leverage such modules to ensure their critical data infrastructure can scale efficiently and meet stringent performance requirements.
