HP 459005-B21#0D1 10Gb/s Cx4 10GBase-CX4 Ethernet X2 Module

Description

The HP 459005-B21#0D1 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver module that utilizes the CX4 physical interface. This module is specifically designed for very short-reach, high-speed connections, typically over copper twinaxial cables. It provides a cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth interconnects within a rack or between adjacent racks in a data center environment. Operating at 10Gbps, the 10GBase-CX4 standard is known for its low latency and high throughput over short distances, making it suitable for direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections where the cable length does not exceed 15 meters. The CX4 connector is a robust, multi-lane connector that ensures reliable signal integrity for these high-speed data streams. As an X2 module, it is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and removal without interrupting network operations. This transceiver is intended for use with HP networking equipment that features X2 module slots, providing a straightforward way to achieve 10GbE connectivity for high-performance computing, storage area networks (SANs), and other bandwidth-intensive applications within close proximity. While newer standards like SFP+ have become more prevalent, X2 CX4 modules remain relevant for specific legacy or high-density copper interconnect scenarios.
