About This Part
The IBM 78P2523 is a high-performance Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) optical transceiver module, meticulously engineered for high-bandwidth data center and enterprise networking applications. As a key component within IBM's extensive range of networking hardware, this transceiver facilitates robust 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connectivity. Operating at a formidable data rate of 40 Gbps, it adheres to the 40GBASE-iSR4 standard, a variant optimized for intermediate-reach short-distance links. The module leverages 850nm wavelength optics, making it ideal for deployment with multimode fiber cabling. Specifically, it supports reliable data transmission over distances up to 100 meters when utilizing OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber. Its design typically incorporates an MPO/MTP connector, enabling a parallel optical interface that efficiently transmits and receives four independent 10 Gbps channels. This technical configuration ensures high-density, low-latency interconnections crucial for modern server racks, switch-to-switch links, and other short-haul backbone applications requiring significant data throughput. The IBM 78P2523 transceiver finds its primary deployment within demanding data center environments, large-scale enterprise networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters where bandwidth and low latency are paramount. It serves as an essential interconnect for network switches, routers, and servers that require robust 40 Gigabit Ethernet links. This module is fully compatible with various IBM networking platforms and other industry-standard equipment featuring QSFP+ ports, ensuring seamless integration into existing and evolving infrastructure. Telecommunications operators, cloud service providers, and large corporations across diverse sectors leverage this transceiver to construct resilient backbone networks, optimize server-to-server communication, and extend storage area network (SAN) capabilities. It effectively addresses the escalating demand for increased bandwidth, mitigating bottlenecks in highly virtualized environments and supporting the rapid expansion of cloud infrastructure. By providing a dependable 40GbE optical link, the Part Number 78P2523 enables efficient and rapid data transfer for mission-critical applications, big data analytics, and real-time processing, representing a vital upgrade path for organizations transitioning from 10GbE to 40GbE without extensive cabling overhauls for short-reach applications.
