IBM 8Gb Sfp+ Lw Optical Transceiver

tom here from one systems and we're going to talk about direct attach copper some fiber modules and why these are a better fit than your standard twisted pair cables that you want to run when you're running them inside of your network stack where your data center or just in a rack in general unless there's a couple long distance runs and you may want to use these fiber modules now all this is coming out of to focus in on these cables in particular and their use cases because i did a video breaking down what cables are used where but of course there's a lot of expanded information i wanted to add but was out of scope of that other video that i'll leave linked down below to we dive into when exactly we do use these and why we use these and latency and speed is a big thing power usage well someone's going to point out that these can go 10 gig and this can go 10 gig so speed versus the late
