Transceptor de fibra ótica CBO 45W2815-BO — módulo compatível para redes IBM

CBO 45W2815-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed as a compatible replacement for IBM networking equipment. It provides optical data transmission for standard network links, enabling high-speed connectivity in server rooms, data centres and enterprise network environments. The module supports straightforward installation into compatible transceiver slots and is intended for use where reliable fibre connections are required.

Advantages

The module offers a compact, hot-pluggable form factor that simplifies upgrades and maintenance without powering down host devices. It delivers consistent optical performance across supported distances and is engineered for compatibility with common IBM network platforms. Reduced physical footprint and standard interface characteristics make the transceiver easy to integrate into existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch fibre links in data centres
• Enterprise backbone and aggregation connections
• Replacement or spare transceiver inventory for IBM-compatible equipment
• High-density networking racks requiring compact optics

Key specifications

• Form factor: standard SFP/SFP+ compatible small form-factor pluggable optical module
• Transmission medium: single-mode or multi-mode fiber (depending on network setup)
• Connector type: LC duplex optical connector
• Data rate: supports common Ethernet data rates used in IBM network deployments
• Operating temperature range suitable for typical server room and data centre conditions

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP/SFP+ slot on the network device until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cables to the module, ensuring correct transmit and receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and configure interface settings as required by the network. For hot-swap replacement, remove the existing module and insert the compatible unit while the device remains powered, following standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.

Recommendations

Use factory-quality LC duplex fiber patch cables and follow fiber handling best practices to maintain signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with the specific IBM platform and firmware version in use before deployment. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to dust or direct sunlight when not installed.
