About This Part
The Brocade 57-1000331-01 is a high-performance QSFP28 optical transceiver engineered for robust, high-speed data transmission within enterprise storage area networks (SANs) and data centers. This module, part of Brocade's advanced optical solutions portfolio, adheres to the QSFP28 form factor, enabling dense, high-bandwidth connectivity. Its primary function is to facilitate 128 Gigabit Fibre Channel (128GFC) links, supporting four independent lanes each operating at 32 Gbps. Utilizing an 850nm wavelength, this transceiver is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber deployments, reliably extending connectivity up to 100 meters over OM4 optical fiber. The design ensures compliance with industry standards such as CM4 and SW4, guaranteeing interoperability and consistent performance in demanding Fibre Channel environments. This Brocade transceiver provides the critical optical interface for connecting switches, directors, and storage arrays, delivering the low latency and high throughput essential for modern SAN architectures. The Brocade 57-1000331-01 transceiver is typically deployed in critical data center and enterprise SAN environments where high-performance, low-latency storage connectivity is paramount. It is installed in compatible Fibre Channel switches, directors, and host bus adapters (HBAs) to establish high-speed links to storage arrays and other SAN infrastructure. This module is essential for organizations leveraging Brocade's advanced Fibre Channel platforms, enabling the construction of robust, scalable, and resilient storage networks. Industries such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and cloud computing providers rely on such high-capacity transceivers to support mission-critical applications, large-scale virtualization, and demanding data analytics workloads.
