This product is an 8-pack bundle of the IBM 45W0497 SFP transceivers, each designed for long-wavelength (LW) data transmission at 4 Gbps. These modules are optimized for medium-distance communications, capable of transmitting data over distances up to 4 kilometers. Ideal for applications requiring reliable, high-speed connectivity over longer distances such as between data centers or within extended enterprise campuses. The bundle offers a scalable solution for businesses looking to expand their fiber-optic network infrastructure without sacrificing performance. The use of long wavelength laser technology ensures high signal integrity and robust performance across all modules, and the inclusion of LC connectors across this bundle guarantees compatibility with a broad range of fiber optic cable types, simplifying the integration process into existing network architectures.
