Description

This HP SFP transceiver module, model A7446B-C, is specifically designed for 4Gb Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). It operates at a data rate of 4Gb/s and adheres to the 4GBase-SW standard, which is optimized for short-reach connections over multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. The module utilizes an 850nm wavelength, standard for short-reach MMF applications in Fibre Channel environments. It provides reliable connectivity for distances up to 384 meters when used with OM4 multi-mode fiber, and shorter distances with OM1 or OM2 fiber. This reach is sufficient for most intra-data center SAN deployments, connecting servers to storage arrays and switches. Featuring a duplex LC connector, the A7446B-C ensures a secure and stable physical connection. Its SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) form factor allows for hot-swapping, which is crucial for maintaining the availability of SANs during installation or maintenance. This transceiver is a key component for building high-performance and reliable storage networks.
