The IBM 18F6948 is a 3-meter fiber optic cable assembly designed for enterprise networking and storage connectivity. This refurbished cable supports high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss, making it suitable for SAN (Storage Area Network) deployments, server-to-switch connections, and inter-switch trunk links in data centers. The 3-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-infrastructure distances within standard server room layouts. IBM fiber optic cables are compatible with enterprise-class switches, HBAs (Host Bus Adapters), and storage arrays from IBM and other vendors that accept standard fiber connectors. Typical use cases include connecting IBM and multivendor servers to SAN fabric, extending network reach between network closets, and supporting 1Gbps to 10Gbps+ throughput depending on transceiver and switch capabilities. All refurbished units are tested and guaranteed to meet IBM specifications; available via quote.
