HP 871362-001 32Gb/s Short Wave SFP+ Transceiver Module

Product Description

The HP 871362-001 is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module capable of operating at 32Gb/s. This speed is commonly used in modern Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs) and high-speed Ethernet deployments. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and servers, offering a compact and hot-pluggable solution. This transceiver is specified as 'Short Wave,' which typically implies operation at 850nm and is intended for use with multi-mode fiber optic cables. Short-range transceivers are designed for connectivity within a data center or across a local area network, providing high bandwidth over relatively short distances. The exact distance capability would depend on the fiber type (e.g., OM3, OM4) but is generally suitable for intra-building links. The 871362-001 module supports both Fibre Channel and Ethernet protocols, providing versatility for network administrators. This dual-protocol capability makes it a valuable component for environments that utilize both types of networking. As an HP branded product, it is designed to meet the stringent performance and reliability standards required for enterprise storage and networking infrastructure.
