This IBM 8.5Gb/s SFP+ transceiver module is built for long-distance fiber optic communication, ideal for data centers and enterprise networks requiring stable and fast link performance. It is often found in environments where high bandwidth and low latency are critical, such as storage area networks (SANs) and high-speed server interconnects.

Designed to work with single-mode fiber, it handles 10km distances using the 8GBase-LR protocol, making it suitable for campus or metropolitan area network deployments. Network engineers and IT professionals benefit from its compatibility and straightforward LC duplex connectivity.

Key Features

• Operates at 8.5Gb/s to handle demanding data loads efficiently
• Supports 8GBase-LR standard for reliable long-range transmission
• Uses 1310nm wavelength optimized for minimal signal loss over single-mode fiber
• Duplex LC interface simplifies fiber cabling and maintenance
• Designed for seamless integration with IBM hardware and common SFP+ ports

This transceiver module is commonly deployed in data centers and large network infrastructures where extending reach without sacrificing performance is essential. It plays a key role in connecting servers, switches, and storage devices across extended distances while maintaining signal integrity.
