HP 2486874 1 x Port 10GBase-SR XENPAK Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Module

Product Description

The HP 2486874 is a high-performance network transceiver module that operates according to the 10GBase-SR standard, delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This module utilizes the XENPAK form factor, which is an older but robust standard for high-speed network interfaces, commonly found in enterprise-grade networking equipment. The 'SR' designation indicates its suitability for Short Reach applications, typically over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This transceiver is designed to connect network devices, such as switches and routers, to the network infrastructure using multi-mode fiber. It employs LC duplex connectors, which are standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. The 10GBase-SR standard allows for data transmission over distances of up to 300 meters on OM3 multi-mode fiber, and up to 400 meters on OM4 multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for data center interconnections and campus networks. As a component from HP, the 2486874 is engineered to be compatible with HP's line of networking hardware that supports XENPAK modules. It plays a critical role in enabling high-bandwidth communication, essential for demanding applications like large file transfers, video streaming, and high-frequency trading. Its robust design ensures stable performance in enterprise environments.
