Four-pack 16Gb SFP+ for Fibre Channel

This Axiom C8R24B-AX set supplies four 16Gb short-wave transceivers in the SFP+ form factor. They are built for Fibre Channel storage networks that run at 16 Gbps over multi-mode fibre. Each module carries a unique serial number to prevent address conflicts in the fabric. The pack targets administrators expanding or refreshing an existing 16Gb SAN.

MSA-compliant LC modules for multi-mode links

The transceivers follow the SFP+ multi-source agreement and use LC duplex connectors. They operate at 850nm wavelength over multi-mode optical fibre with a reach of up to 300m. No proprietary lock-in is present; the modules work in any MSA-compliant switch or director port. RoHS compliance and IEEE 802.3ae adherence are confirmed by the vendor.

Sustained 16Gb throughput within 300m range

Under continuous load the transceivers maintain line-rate 16Gb Fibre Channel signalling across the full 300m multi-mode distance. The 850nm VCSEL source is rated for steady emission without thermal drift that would curtail distance. They are not suited for single-mode infrastructure or links that exceed the 300m multi-mode budget.

Questions about this item

How far can the 16 Gbps Fibre Channel signal travel over multi-mode fibre with these transceivers?

The 850 nm optics support links up to 300 m on multi-mode fibre at the full 16 Gbps rate.

What thermal or power behaviour should I expect when all four modules run continuously in a loaded chassis?

Each SFP+ module draws low power and runs passively cooled; total heat stays within normal SFP+ cage limits for all-day operation.

Which switch or HBA ports accept these transceivers without extra adapters?

Any SFP+ cage that follows the MSA specification and supports 16 Gbps Fibre Channel will take the LC connectors directly.
