JDSU - Transceptor ótico SFP - 8 Gbit / 4 Gbit / 2 Gbit - onda curta ótica - LC

The JDSU PLRXPL-VC-SH4-23-N stands apart from generic SFPs by combining multi-rate Fibre Channel support (8G/4G/2G) with a VCSEL transmitter and PIN receiver, delivering reliable short-wave connectivity for storage networks. Its digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) provides real-time visibility into link health, making it a practical choice for data centers that demand consistent performance.

Highlights

• Multi-rate operation: 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 2 Gbps Fibre Channel
• 850 nm VCSEL transmitter with PIN photodetector for multimode fibre
• LC duplex connector, hot-pluggable SFP form factor
• Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for proactive maintenance
• Low power consumption under 1.0 W, commercial temperature range 0°C to 70°C

In daily use

This transceiver integrates seamlessly into existing Fibre Channel SAN environments. It supports link distances up to 150 m on OM3 fibre and 190 m on OM4 fibre, covering typical data centre rack-to-rack connections. The hot-pluggable design allows for quick installation or replacement without disrupting the host system. With a 3.3 V supply voltage and MSA compliance, it works across a broad range of compatible switches and storage controllers.
