Ideal for Promise Fibre Channel links

This Axiom VRSFP8G-AX transceiver serves 8 Gb Fibre Channel networks over multi-mode fibre. It targets administrators expanding or repairing Promise storage fabrics that require short-wave optics. The module follows SFP+ mechanical and electrical specifications.

Plug-and-play integration with Promise gear

The unit arrives coded for Promise equipment, removing the need for manual configuration or third-party compatibility tools. RoHS compliance confirms the assembly meets restricted-substance limits. Green-compliant design aligns with corporate procurement policies that mandate environmentally responsible components.

Multi-mode fibre ready for rack temperatures

An 850 nm VCSEL drives links across OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fibre within standard data-centre reach. The extended temperature range of 0 to 70 °C suits both cooled server rooms and warmer wiring closets. LC duplex connectors latch securely, reducing accidental disconnects during cable management.

Questions about this item

Will the 850 nm optics or MMF fibre need scheduled replacement?

The transceiver itself has no user-replaceable parts; only the multi-mode fibre patch cords may need replacement if they are damaged or contaminated.

What limits link distance during sustained 8 Gb Fibre Channel traffic?

The 850 nm multi-mode specification limits reach to the standard OM3/OM4 distances supported by the Promise equipment.

How much heat does the module add inside a fully loaded switch chassis?

Operating temperature is rated 0 °C to 70 °C; the low-power SFP+ design keeps thermal load minimal even under continuous load.
