The IBM 2498-2828 offering consists of an 8-pack of Long-Wavelength (LW) Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, each designed to deliver data transmission rates of up to 8 Gbps over a distance of up to 10 kilometers. These SFP modules are engineered to facilitate long-distance connections between fiber network points, making them particularly suited for extended network configurations across multiple data centers or enterprise campuses. The use of LW technology enables the transmission of data over single-mode fiber (SMF), providing a high degree of signal integrity and security over considerable distances. These SFP modules are compatible with a range of IBM systems and are ideal for applications requiring reliable, high-speed data transfers over long distances, such as disaster recovery, business continuity, and storage area network expansion. Packaged as an 8-unit set, they afford businesses the flexibility to scale their fiber optic infrastructure as needed, while maintaining high performance and reliability.
