Overview
The IBM 88Y6845 is a high performance single mode fiber (SM) SFP transceiver designed for long reach campus and metro Ethernet deployments. Operating at 100Base-BX, it combines a 1310 nm transmit wavelength with a 1550 nm receive wavelength to deliver reliable data transmission over distances up to 20 km on standard single mode fiber. This compact hot-pluggable module provides an economical solution for extending network reach without sacrificing the simplicity and low power consumption of traditional SFP optics.
Key Features
- Dual wavelength operation: Tx 1310 nm, Rx 1550 nm
- Supports 100Base-BX Ethernet at speeds up to 100 Mbps
- Maximum link distance of 20 km over single mode fiber (SMF)
- Low power consumption for energy efficient deployments
- Hot-pluggable design compatible with standard SFP slots
- IBM quality manufacturing and rigorous testing for high reliability
