Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Optics are an excellent choice for high-speed communications equipment where extraordinary performance and reliability are essential. These hot-pluggable optical modules consume low-power and are offered in the extended temperature range.
When used with Intel® Ethernet Network Adapters with SFP28 connectivity, these optics provide more secure connections for virtualization, flexibility for LAN and SAN networking, and consistently reliable performance.
Fiber optics are more immune to harsh environmental factors. The light used for data transmission does not carry an electrical current so it cannot be impacted by electrical transmissions or radio frequency interference. Also, light has a superior signal strength that is near impervious to unwanted network taps.
