The Axiom 8 Gbps Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver is optimized to fully leverage Brocade backbone, director, and switch products. This short-wave length (SWL) hot-swappable, 3.3v low-voltage transceiver supports 8.5, 4.25, and 2.125 Gigabit per second signal rates. Commonly referenced as 1/2/4Gbps Fibre Channel specification, (FC-PI-4 compliance) this 1310nm multi-mode transceiver enables 10-km link lengths at 8Gbps signaling rates using single-mode fiber. Designed and tested 100% compatible with the Brocade XBR-000153 fibre channel transceiver, the Axiom XBR-000153-AX is rigorously tested and qualified to function identically within the properly configured Brocade fibre and Ethernet switch and storage product line. Complying with the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and supporting the digital diagnostic monitoring interface (SFF-8472) enables this transceiver to work in all MSA compliant platforms as well as function with other manufacturer's products within the same network.
