| | | |
| 1 GbE 550 m SFP, 1000BASE-SX (duplex LC, MMF, 850 nm, OM) | 45W2815 | 2211 |
| | | |
| 1 GbE 10 km SFP, 1000BASE-LX (duplex LC, SMF, 1310 nm, OM) | 45W2816 | 2212 |
| | | |
| 1 GbE 70 km SFP, 1000BASE-LHA (duplex LC, SMF, 1550 nm, OM) | 45W2817 | 2213 |
| | | |
| 10 GbE 10 km, SFP+, 10GBASE-LR (duplex LC, SMF, 1310 nm, | 45W4264 | 2131 |
OM)
Note: OM = Optical Monitoring supported. SMF = single-mode fiber. MMF = multi-mode fiber. MMF distance supported depends on cabling type. Use OM3 50 ìm (2000 MHz*km) MMF to support the farthest distances.
The B24X has twenty-four dual-speed 10/1 GbE SFP+ ports enabling customers to seamlessly transition their 1 GbE devices to 10 GbE speeds by upgrading the transceiver. Qualified SFP+ or SFP transceivers are required for each SFP+ port and are not included. Up to twenty-four 10 GbE SFP+ or 1 GbE SFP transceivers are supported on each IBM Ethernet Switch B24X.
10 GbE SFP+ optical –SR (10GBASE-SR) transceivers support distances up to 300 m, which is ideal for connectivity within a data center. 10 GbE SFP+ optical –LR (10GBASE-LR) transceivers support extended distances up to 10 km.
