HP 5697-3794 32Gb/s SFP+ 850nm LC Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The HP 5697-3794 is a high-performance transceiver module engineered for demanding networking environments, particularly within storage area networks (SANs) and high-speed data center interconnects. This module adheres to the SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) standard, enabling it to support data rates of up to 32 Gigabits per second (Gb/s). The 850nm wavelength and support for Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) with an LC connector make it suitable for short-to-medium reach optical links, commonly found within data center racks or between adjacent network closets. This transceiver is designed to provide reliable and efficient connectivity for Fibre Channel and Ethernet applications that require substantial bandwidth. Its 32Gb/s capability ensures that it can keep pace with the performance demands of modern storage arrays, high-performance servers, and converged network adapters. The hot-pluggable nature of the SFP+ module allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host equipment, thereby minimizing network downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. The HP 5697-3794 is a critical component for organizations looking to upgrade their network infrastructure to support higher speeds and greater data throughput. Its compatibility with a wide range of HP networking and storage equipment, as well as potentially other vendors adhering to industry standards, makes it a versatile choice for building scalable and robust data center networks. The module's specific optical characteristics are optimized for performance and signal integrity over multi-mode fiber.
