About This Part
The IBM 77P8744 is a high-performance 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) SFP+ optical transceiver designed for robust, high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber. This compact, hot-pluggable module adheres to the SFP+ form factor, facilitating seamless integration into compatible network equipment. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, enabling reliable data links over distances up to 10 kilometers. The transceiver is engineered to support 8GFC protocol, making it an essential component for connecting Fibre Channel devices within Storage Area Networks (SANs), ensuring efficient and low-latency data transfer with its standard LC duplex connector interface, vital for critical data center applications requiring consistent performance. This transceiver is crucial for deploying and expanding Storage Area Networks (SANs) in enterprise and data center environments. It is typically installed in Fibre Channel switches, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and other SAN components, supporting a wide array of platforms including IBM storage systems and servers, as well as compatible third-party infrastructure. The IBM 77P8744 is widely utilized by data centers, large enterprises, and cloud service providers that require resilient, high-bandwidth storage connectivity. It solves the challenge of extending high-speed Fibre Channel links over significant distances, facilitating distributed SAN architectures or connecting remote data center facilities. Furthermore, it enables seamless upgrades from slower Fibre Channel speeds or replaces direct attach copper cables where longer optical reaches are required, enhancing network flexibility and reach.
