XBR-000163

The XBR-000163 Brocade transceiver is designed to enable fast, efficient data transfer in Fibre Channel storage area networks. This module typically plugs into Brocade DCX switches and other compatible hardware to facilitate communication between storage arrays and servers.

Often found in data centers and enterprise storage environments, it serves IT professionals looking to maintain high throughput and low latency in their network fabric. It’s built for short-range links using an 850nm laser, supporting up to 8 gigabits per second.

Key Features

• Supports 8Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity enabling rapid data transmission
• Uses 850nm wavelength for reliable short-wave laser communication
• Fits into standard SFP+ slots on Brocade DCX and similar devices
• Compatible with standard GBIC form factor for easy installation
• Optimized for short distances typically within a rack or across adjacent racks

These transceivers are typically deployed in clustered storage solutions, SAN fabrics, and virtualization infrastructures where consistent performance is critical. They help maintain smooth data flow and reduce bottlenecks in complex network environments.
