HP AN211AR 4Gb/s SFP 30km 1310nm Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Description

The HP AN211AR is a 4Gb/s SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber optic networks. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, making it suitable for medium to long-reach applications, with a maximum transmission distance of up to 30 kilometers. This transceiver is commonly used in Fibre Channel and Ethernet environments where reliable, extended-range connectivity is required. The module features a duplex LC connector, which is the standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and robust physical link. Its SFP form factor allows it to be plugged into a wide array of networking equipment, including switches, routers, and host bus adapters (HBAs), that support SFP modules. The hot-pluggable nature of the SFP allows for installation or replacement without the need to power down the host device, minimizing network downtime. This transceiver is optimized for single-mode fiber (SMF), which provides lower signal loss and dispersion over long distances compared to multi-mode fiber. The 4Gb/s speed is sufficient for many enterprise storage and networking applications, offering a balance between performance and cost for extended reach requirements. The HP AN211AR is a reliable component for building resilient and scalable network infrastructures that span significant distances.
