HP J8173A#ABA 10Gb/s Xenpak 10km 1310nm Duplex SC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP J8173A#ABA is a high-performance network transceiver module engineered to support demanding enterprise and data center connectivity requirements. Operating at a blazing 10Gb/s data rate, this Xenpak module is crucial for backbone networks, high-speed storage area networks (SANs), and other applications where bandwidth is paramount. Its 1310nm wavelength is optimized for transmission over single-mode fiber, enabling robust and reliable communication over extended distances. This transceiver utilizes a duplex SC connector, a standard interface known for its secure and stable connection, ensuring minimal signal loss and consistent performance. The module is specifically designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables, which are capable of carrying optical signals over much longer distances compared to multi-mode fiber, making it ideal for campus backbones or inter-building connections. The 10km maximum transmission distance makes it suitable for metropolitan area networks (MANs) and other long-haul applications. As a hot-pluggable module, the J8173A#ABA can be installed or replaced without disrupting network operations, enhancing network uptime and simplifying maintenance. Its compatibility with HP networking equipment ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within HP environments. This transceiver represents a critical component for building scalable, high-speed, and reliable network infrastructures.
