About This Part
The Brocade Part Number 57-1000485-01 is a high-performance optical transceiver module designed for robust data center and enterprise storage environments. As a critical component within Brocade's extensive portfolio of Fibre Channel networking solutions, this module facilitates high-speed data communication. It is engineered to support 32 Gigabit Fibre Channel (32GFC) connectivity, providing a substantial bandwidth upgrade for Storage Area Networks (SANs). Typically deployed in a small form-factor pluggable (SFP28) design, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of Brocade switches, directors, and host bus adapters. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over multi-mode fiber optic cables, with a specified reach of up to 300 meters. This capability is crucial for connecting devices within and across data center racks, ensuring low latency and high throughput for demanding applications. The module adheres to industry standards, guaranteeing interoperability and reliable performance in mission-critical infrastructure. This Brocade 57-1000485-01 transceiver is primarily installed in Fibre Channel switches, directors, and storage arrays within large-scale data centers, cloud service provider facilities, and enterprise IT environments. It is indispensable for organizations requiring high-speed, low-latency access to shared storage resources, such as those supporting virtualized server infrastructures, database management systems, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Telecom operators and financial institutions leverage such modules to ensure rapid data replication and disaster recovery capabilities. By enabling 32GFC links, this part effectively addresses bandwidth bottlenecks that can arise from increasing data volumes and I/O demands, significantly improving application performance. It serves as a vital upgrade path for existing 8GFC or 16GFC SAN infrastructures, allowing seamless integration and future-proofing without a complete overhaul of the network fabric. Its deployment ensures that critical business operations benefit from enhanced data transfer speeds and improved overall system responsiveness.
