HP 738194-001 16Gb/s SFP+ 100m 850nm Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The HP 738194-001 is a versatile SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module that supports both 16Gb Fibre Channel (FC) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. This module is optimized for short-reach communication over multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables, operating at a wavelength of 850nm. It is designed to provide high-speed, reliable data transmission for storage area networks (SANs) and high-performance Ethernet environments. Featuring a hot-pluggable design, the 738194-001 allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down network or storage devices, ensuring continuous operation and simplified management. The module utilizes a standard duplex LC connector, which provides a secure and robust physical interface for connecting MMF patch cords, ensuring optimal signal integrity and minimizing connection issues. Compliant with industry standards such as SFF-8472 and FC-PI-4, this HP transceiver ensures interoperability with a wide range of Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and networking equipment that support the SFP+ form factor. It supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 100 meters on OM3 multi-mode fiber, making it an excellent choice for connecting servers and storage devices within a data center or enterprise network. Its dual-protocol support offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness for environments requiring both high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.
