Description
Product Detail:
HYTOPTODEVICE E1MG-ZXC-160-IBM Compatible IBM 1000BASE-EZX SFP Transceiver 
      The HYTOPTODEVICE IBM E1MG-ZXC-160-IBM compatible transceiver is a carrier-grade ultra-long-haul optical module engineered for extreme-distance data transmission. Designed to bridge massive spans up to 160km over single-mode fiber (SMF), this 1550nm SFP eliminates the need for expensive intermediate signal repeaters in complex IBM networking environments.This module is fully compliant with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3z protocols. It features a high-performance cooled DFB laser and an APD (Avalanche Photodiode) receiver for maximum sensitivity. With a commercial operating temperature of 0°C to 70°C, it is optimized for mission-critical stability in IBM storage and Ethernet switching platforms. At HYTOPTODEVICE, we ensure every unit is rigorously tested to meet the high standards required for enterprise-level disaster recovery.

Compatibility and Supported Devices

HYTOPTODEVICE ensures 100% "Plug-and-Play" compatibility with IBM networking and storage systems:

  • IBM Ethernet Switches: G8000, G8124, G8264 series (RackSwitch).

  • IBM Storage Networking: SAN24B, SAN48B, SAN96B (b-type) models.

  • IBM BladeCenter: Compatible with SFP-based high-speed connectivity modules.

  • IBM System Networking: Support for legacy and modern IBM-branded networking adapters.

Primary Usage Scenarios

The HYTOPTODEVICE IBM-compatible 160km SFP is built for:

  • Enterprise Disaster Recovery (DR): Establishing high-availability links between primary and secondary data centers separated by over 100km.

  • Storage Area Network (SAN) Extension: Connecting IBM b-type or c-type switches across city lines for synchronous data replication.

  • Government & Public Sector Backbones: Reliable long-distance fiber optic transmission for secure, wide-area private networks.

  • Utility & Power Grid Communication: Providing a stable data link for monitoring remote infrastructure in geographically isolated regions.

FAQ for IBM E1MG-ZXC-160-IBM Compatible SFP Transceiver

Q1: What is the optical power budget for an IBM E1MG-ZXC-160-IBM link? A: A stable 160km link requires a power budget of 32dB to 34dB. HYTOPTODEVICE recommends using high-quality G.652 single-mode fiber and ensuring clean connectors to stay within the APD receiver's sensitivity threshold.

Q2: Can I use this 160km SFP for short-distance testing on IBM switches? A: CRITICAL WARNING: You must use a 20dB - 25dB optical attenuator. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the APD receiver, direct "back-to-back" connection will permanently burn the optical sensor.

Q3: Does this module support IBM’s Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)? A: Yes. It supports full DDM/DOM, allowing real-time monitoring of TX/RX optical power, temperature, and voltage via the switch management interface.

Q4: Is the 0-70°C temperature range safe for mission-critical data centers? A: Yes. This commercial temperature range (0-70°C) is the global standard for climate-controlled enterprise data centers, ensuring the laser maintains its wavelength stability over long-term use.

Q5: How does HYTOPTODEVICE ensure compatibility with IBM systems? A: Our modules are pre-coded with the specific IBM EEPROM signatures, ensuring they are recognized as IBM Genuine Equivalent hardware, bypassing system-level lockouts and error messages
