Brocade 57-1000495-01 64G FC SFP+ SWL Optical Transceiver Module for G720 Switch
The Brocade 57‑1000495‑01 64G FC SFP+ Transceiver is a high-speed 64 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ optical transceiver designed for enterprise SAN (Storage Area Network) and data center connectivity. It operates at an 850 nm short-wavelength (SWL) and is engineered to deliver reliable, low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links over multimode fiber (MMF) cabling — perfect for high-performance storage fabrics and server-to-switch connections.
Key Features
- 64 Gbps Fibre Channel Speed – Optimized for next-gen SAN fabrics.
- Short-Wavelength (850 nm SWL) – Ideal for multimode fiber links up to ~300 m on OM4.
- SFP+ Form Factor – Hot-pluggable and compact for easy deployment.
- Duplex LC Connector – Standard optical interface for fiber networks.
- Supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) – Real-time monitoring of key optical parameters (on many listings).
- Low Power Consumption – Efficient performance for data center environments.
How to Install
Installing the Brocade 57-1000495-01 transceiver is straightforward:
- Power off the switch (optional but recommended)
- Locate an empty SFP+ port on your Brocade FC switch or SAN device
- Remove dust caps from both the transceiver and fiber cable ends
- Insert the transceiver gently into the SFP+ slot until it clicks
- Connect the LC multimode fiber cable
- Power on the device (if turned off)
- Verify link status via CLI or management interface
The module is hot-pluggable, so it can be inserted or removed while the device is running in most supported systems.
Compatibility
This 64G FC SFP+ transceiver works with:
- Brocade Fibre Channel switches and directors
- Enterprise SAN storage systems
- Servers or HBAs that support 64 Gbps Fibre Channel optics
- Multimode fiber infrastructure (OM3/OM4)
Always check that your switch and firmware support 64 Gbps FC SFP+ modules.
Best Applications
- High-performance Storage Area Networks (SAN)
- Data center server-to-switch optical uplinks
- Switch-to-switch interconnects
- Virtualized storage fabrics
- High-speed backup and replication links
