HP P9N13A 8Gb/s SFP+ 40km 1558.17nm Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP P9N13A is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver engineered for demanding Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) and high-speed Ethernet applications. Operating at 8Gb/s, this module is specifically designed to provide reliable, long-reach connectivity over single-mode fiber optic cables. Its compatibility with HP networking and storage equipment ensures seamless integration within existing HP infrastructure, offering a robust solution for enterprise data centers. This transceiver utilizes a wavelength of 1558.17nm, which is optimized for long-haul transmission on single-mode fiber. The duplex LC connector is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and reliable physical interface. With a maximum transmission distance of 40 kilometers, the P9N13A is ideal for connecting geographically dispersed data centers, campus networks, or extending SAN connectivity over significant distances without the need for signal repeaters. The SFP+ form factor allows for hot-plugging, meaning the module can be installed or removed from network equipment without powering down the device, thereby minimizing network downtime. Furthermore, it typically supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) or Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which provides real-time information about the transceiver's operating status, signal strength, and temperature, aiding in performance monitoring and troubleshooting. The HP P9N13A is a critical component for ensuring high availability and performance in mission-critical storage and networking environments.
