HP D3B54AV 10Gb/s 10GBase-SR Mu;ti-Mode Fiber 850nm SFP+ Transceiver Module

Product Description

The HP D3B54AV is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network applications. The '10GBase-SR' designation indicates that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ae standard for short-reach connections over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This makes it an ideal choice for connecting network devices within the same building, data center, or across campus networks where fiber optic infrastructure is deployed. Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, this transceiver leverages the properties of multi-mode fiber (MMF) to achieve its data transmission capabilities. MMF is typically less expensive than single-mode fiber and is suitable for distances up to approximately 300 meters, depending on the fiber grade (e.g., OM3 or OM4). The SFP+ form factor is a smaller, more power-efficient version of the original SFP, allowing for higher port densities on network equipment. As a hot-pluggable module, the HP D3B54AV can be installed or removed from an SFP+ port without the need to power down the host device. This feature is crucial for maintaining network uptime during maintenance, upgrades, or troubleshooting. The transceiver converts the electrical signals from the host device into optical signals for transmission over the fiber optic cable and converts incoming optical signals back into electrical signals, enabling high-speed data communication between network components.
