IBM 88Y6419 SFP+ 8 Gb Brocade Transceiver

This IBM 88Y6419 is an SFP+ transceiver rated for 8 Gb Brocade links. It uses an LC connector and carries 8GBase-SW signals over optical fibre. The module is designed for optical network and data networking applications. It is confirmed compatible with the IBM AE2 Storage Enclosure.

Suited for administrators expanding an IBM AE2

The single LC port makes it a direct fit for that enclosure. Buyers who need a different connector type or a form factor other than SFP+ should look at something else. Environments requiring a speed other than 8 Gb Brocade will need a different transceiver. This unit serves one specific link in a compatible system.

Deciding specification: 8GBase-SW over optical

The transceiver operates at 8 Gb Brocade using the 8GBase-SW network technology. Media type supported is optical fibre. The interface is a single LC port. Match these three details to the port and cabling plan before ordering.
