HP 5697-3228 16Gb/s 16GBase-SW M-M Fiber 500m 850nm SFP+ Transceiver

Description

This HP 5697-3228 SFP+ transceiver is a high-performance optical module designed for 16 Gigabit Ethernet (16GbE) and Fibre Channel applications. It utilizes an 850nm wavelength and multi-mode fiber to achieve data transmission speeds of up to 16Gb/s over distances of up to 500 meters. The SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, routers, and host bus adapters that support SFP+ interfaces. The transceiver features an LC duplex connector, which is standard for multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This allows for easy and secure connection to fiber patch cords. The 850nm wavelength is characteristic of VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) transceivers, which are commonly used for short-reach applications within data centers or between adjacent buildings. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in demanding network environments. Ideal for upgrading network infrastructure or expanding existing connectivity, the HP 5697-3228 provides a cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth data transfer. It is essential for applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, and data center aggregation layers where speed and reliability are paramount. The transceiver's compliance with industry standards guarantees interoperability with compatible networking devices.
