Product Highlights

• This transceiver is designed for 32G Fibre Channel (FC) storage networks, delivering 32Gbps line-rate transmission over multi-mode fiber (MMF).
• It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, optimized for short-reach connections within data center storage area networks (SANs).
• It supports up to 100m reach over OM4 multi-mode fiber and up to 70m over OM3, making it ideal for links between servers, switches, and enterprise storage arrays.

2. Standard SFP28 Package & Broad Compatibility

• It uses the industry-standard SFP28 (25G Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) package, which is compact, hot-swappable, and optimized for high-density 32G FC SAN switches and adapters.
• As an IBM OEM part, it is natively validated for use with IBM storage systems, including the DS series storage arrays and SAN switches.
• It is also interoperable with most third-party 32G FC devices that support standard SFP28 transceivers.

3. Reliable Performance & Compliance Certification

• Built-in Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) allows real-time monitoring of key parameters including TX optical power, RX optical power, module temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current.
• Certified as a Class 1 Laser product under IEC 60825-1 and 21CFR 1040.10, and compliant with CE and CSA standards for global enterprise deployment.
• Manufactured in Malaysia, it undergoes rigorous factory testing, including temperature cycling and burn-in, to ensure stable performance in the commercial temperature range.
