IBM 42C1816 Qlogic 10Gbasesr SFP Transceiver

This IBM transceiver provides a 10Gbasesr optical link in a standard SFP form factor. It is built for network administrators connecting switches, routers or servers over multimode fibre. The module carries the 42C1816 part number for straightforward identification in IBM environments.

Replaces legacy lower-speed SFP modules

Swapping older 1 Gbps transceivers for this 10 Gbps unit increases link bandwidth tenfold without changing cabling infrastructure. The upgrade makes sense when aggregated traffic regularly saturates existing uplinks or when new 10 GbE ports are provisioned. Buyers who need single-mode reach or longer distances should select a different wavelength module.

Highlights

  • 10 Gbps short-range connectivity via SFP+ form factor
