Brocade 16Gb SFP+ SW Optical Transceiver – Refurbished Fibre Channel Module for SAN Switches

Maximize SAN Performance: Brocade 16Gb Short Wave (SW) SFP+ Module

Unlock the full potential of your Storage Area Network (SAN) without the premium price tag. The Brocade 16Gb SFP+ Optical Transceiver is the industry-standard for high-bandwidth storage connectivity. Designed to transmit data at 14.025 Gbps, this module is critical for preventing bottlenecks in flash-storage environments and virtualized data centers.

At ServerDukan, we understand that optical transceivers are delicate. That’s why every refurbished unit we sell undergoes precise light-level testing to ensure optimal signal strength (Tx/Rx) and error-free transmission. Get the reliability of original equipment at the most competitive price in India.
