Product Description

This IBM 4GBase-LW SFP transceiver module is designed to handle high-speed Fibre Channel communications over single-mode fiber. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, allowing data transmission up to 4 kilometers, which is suitable for medium-range network links.

Often found in data centers and enterprise storage environments, this transceiver helps maintain efficient connectivity between servers, storage arrays, and switches. It’s built for IT professionals managing Fibre Channel SANs who need reliable and consistent performance.

Key Features

  • Operates at 4.25 Gb/s to support 4G Fibre Channel speeds
  • Uses single-mode fiber with a 1310nm laser for extended reach
  • Supports distances up to 4 km for flexible network layouts
  • Duplex LC connector ensures secure and stable fiber connections
  • Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) design simplifies installation and upgrades

This module is typically deployed in SAN environments where storage devices and switches require fast and stable data transfer over longer distances than multimode fiber allows. Its reliable link length and standard form factor make it a practical choice for maintaining smooth Fibre Channel operations.


Use Cases

This transceiver module is ideal for extending Fibre Channel SAN connections in enterprise and data center environments.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting storage arrays to SAN switches over long distances
  • Linking servers within data centers that require high-speed fiber connections
  • Upgrading existing fiber infrastructure to support 4G Fibre Channel speeds
  • Facilitating high-bandwidth data replication between remote sites
  • Integrating with IBM storage solutions for optimized performance

By deploying the 23R1704 module, organizations can ensure reliable, high-speed fiber optic connections essential for modern storage networking demands.
