Lenovo 10GB iSCSI/16Gb FC Universal SFP+ Transceiver Module

The Lenovo 4M17A13527 is a universal SFP+ transceiver module that lets enterprise teams move data quickly and reliably across optical fiber links. By supporting both 10GBase-X iSCSI and 16 Gb Fibre Channel, it gives storage administrators the flexibility to run block-level Ethernet traffic or traditional SAN workloads over the same compact form factor. The result is straightforward scalability for environments where uptime, throughput, and low latency are non-negotiable.

With a single wired port that pushes up to 16 Gbps, the module helps keep backups, database replication, and virtual machine migrations on schedule even during peak demand. Optical fiber minimizes signal loss, so performance stays consistent across long-distance campus or data-center runs. Installation is simple: slide the module into an available SFP+ slot, confirm the link, and the network is ready for production traffic.

The transceiver is qualified for Lenovo ThinkSystem DE4000H Hybrid Storage Arrays, making it an easy drop-in upgrade for organizations standardizing on Lenovo infrastructure. It also fits naturally in mixed-vendor networks where administrators need protocol agility without managing multiple transceiver types. Whether you are extending a Fibre Channel fabric, building out an iSCSI storage tier, or creating a unified disaster-recovery link between sites, this module delivers dependable optical connectivity in a space-efficient package.
