The IBM 2498-2822 transceiver module shares the same high-performance characteristics as the IBM 2498-2821, providing an effective means for data communication over long distances. It is capable of delivering data transmission speeds of up to 8 Gbps over a single-mode fiber optic cable for distances of up to 10 kilometers. Using a long wavelength (LW) laser at 1310nm, the transceiver ensures reliable data transmission with minimal signal attenuation, even over extended ranges. Compatible with LC duplex connectors, this module is designed for seamless integration into existing Brocade network infrastructures, enhancing the ability to extend networks over long distances. Its hot-swappable design allows for easy installation or replacement, facilitating minimal disruption to network services. The IBM 2498-2822 transceiver is suited for organizations looking to connect distant network segments or to enhance their disaster recovery capabilities.
