Brocade 57-1000485-01 32G Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver
The Brocade 57-1000485-01 32G Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver is a high-speed 32 Gbps Fibre Channel optical transceiver designed for modern SAN (Storage Area Network) and data center environments. It operates over 850 nm wavelength and supports short-reach connectivity over multimode fiber, making it perfect for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links within racks or across nearby rooms.
Key Features
- 32 Gbps Fibre Channel Speed – High-bandwidth performance for enterprise SANs.
- 850 nm Wavelength (SWL) – Optimized for short-reach multimode fiber (MMF).
- SFP+ Form Factor – Hot-pluggable and compact design.
- Dual LC Connector – Standard duplex optical interface.
- Supports Up to ~100–300 m on MMF (reach depends on fiber type and quality).
- Enterprise-Grade Reliability – Built for data centers and storage fabrics.
- Low Latency & High Signal Integrity – Ideal for mission-critical applications.
How to Install Brocade 32G Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver
Installing the Brocade 57-1000485-01 transceiver is simple:
- Power off the device (optional but safe)
- Locate an empty SFP+ port on your switch or SAN device
- Remove dust caps from both the transceiver and fiber cable ends
- Insert the transceiver into the SFP+ slot until it clicks
- Connect the LC multimode fiber cable
- Power on the device (if powered off)
- Check link status via CLI or switch management interface
This module is hot-pluggable, so you can insert/remove it while the device is running (in most supported systems).
Compatibility
This transceiver works with:
- Brocade Fibre Channel switches and directors
- Enterprise SAN storage systems
- Servers or HBAs that support 32G FC optics
- Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) infrastructure
- Devices that accept standard SFP+ Fibre Channel optics
Always verify your switch/host supports 32 Gbps Fibre Channel modules and the specific wavelength/reach.
Best Applications
- Storage Area Networks (SAN)
- Data center server-to-switch links
- Switch-to-switch optical uplinks
- High-speed backup and replication
- Virtualized storage environments
