IBM compatible 45W1216 Description
The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-10 is a compatible replacement for the IBM 45W1216 8Gb Fibre Channel Long-Wavelength SFP+. It provides FC connectivity over single-mode fiber at 1310nm, reaching up to 10km with a duplex LC connector. This is an 8GFC module for IBM SAN switches.
The transceiver is a dual-rate FC module supporting 4.25 Gbps (4GFC) and 8.5 Gbps (8GFC). It uses a 1310nm DFB laser transmitter paired with an APD receiver over standard G.652 single-mode fiber.
This module is compatible with IBM System Storage SAN switches including the SAN24B-4 and SAN40B-4.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is supported per SFF-8472. The module reports TX/RX optical power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage in real time. It is MSA-compliant per SFF-8431 and SFF-8432, CE/RoHS certified, and operates in commercial temperature range (0 to 70C).
All EdgeOptic modules ship with a lifetime warranty and are tested before dispatch. For volume pricing or project support, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IBM 45W1216 and 44X1964?
The 45W1216 is the 8GFC LW variant (1310nm, single-mode, 10km). The 44X1964 is the 8GFC SW variant (850nm, multimode, 300m on OM3). Choose based on your fiber type and link distance.
