HP 815268-001 16Gb/s QSFP Transceiver Module

Description

The HP 815268-001 is a high-performance QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module engineered to support demanding data rates of 16 Gigabits per second (Gb/s). This module is specifically designed for Fibre Channel applications, making it an ideal component for storage area networks (SANs) and other high-speed data interconnects within enterprise data centers. The QSFP form factor allows for higher port density compared to traditional SFP+ modules, enabling more connections within a given rack space. This transceiver module typically utilizes LC duplex connectors, a standard for optical fiber connections, ensuring reliable and secure physical connectivity. The specific optical characteristics, such as wavelength and transmission distance (e.g., Short Reach - SR, Long Reach - LR), depend on the exact variant of the 815268-001, but it is designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern data center infrastructure. Its hot-swappable nature allows for installation or replacement without disrupting network operations, contributing to high availability. Compliance with industry standards, such as the SFF-8436 specification for QSFP modules, ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment from HP and other vendors. The 16Gb/s speed capability is crucial for applications that require low latency and high throughput, such as high-performance computing, large-scale virtualization, and mission-critical database operations. The 815268-001 represents a key component in building scalable and efficient storage and network infrastructures.
