Μονάδα πομποδέκτη SFP+ BROADCOM LP64-LW-OPT-1 64 Gb Fibre Channel Long Wave

The BROADCOM LP64-LW-OPT-1 SFP+ transceiver module is a compact, hot-pluggable optical interface designed to carry 64 Gb Fibre Channel signals over long-wave optical links. Intended for SANs and enterprise storage networks, this module enables high-speed data transfer between switches, host bus adapters (HBAs) and storage arrays, while maintaining compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ form-factor Fibre Channel optics.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 64 Gb Fibre Channel throughput and long-wave optical transmission, offering stable performance for long-reach links in storage area networks. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and replacement without powering down devices. The module’s optical design is optimized for consistent link integrity and low error rates in enterprise environments, and it is suitable for use in a wide range of compatible network ports.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Fibre Channel connections in SAN environments
• Upgrading or replacing SFP+ ports on switches and HBAs
• Interconnecting storage arrays and directors over extended distances
• Enterprise data centers requiring reliable 64 Gb Fibre Channel links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ optical transceiver form factor
• Protocol: 64 Gb Fibre Channel
• Optical type: long-wave (designed for extended reach)
• Deployment: single-fibre pair long-reach links in SANs
• Hot-pluggable: supports live insertion and removal
• Compatibility: designed for use with equipment that accepts SFP+ Fibre Channel optics

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a switch, HBA or storage port while the host device follows vendor guidelines for optical module insertion. Ensure the port is configured for 64 Gb Fibre Channel operation and match the link parameters (speed, zoning, and fabric settings) on both ends of the connection. Use appropriate single-mode duplex fibre cabling and LC connectors for long-wave optical runs, and observe proper handling to avoid contaminating the optical ferrule.

Recommendations

Before installation, verify compatibility with the specific switch, HBA or storage vendor and confirm required firmware or driver support. Clean fiber connectors before mating and monitor link status and error counters after deployment to confirm stable operation. For long-distance links, select suitable single-mode fibre and confirm link budget and distance limitations per system requirements.
