Product Description
The HP P9N38A is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module engineered for demanding long-distance data communication. Operating at a data rate of 16Gb/s, it is suitable for both Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet protocols, making it a versatile component for storage area networks (SANs) and high-speed enterprise network backbones. The module's primary advantage is its extended reach capability, supporting transmission distances of up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables. This transceiver utilizes a specific wavelength of 1558.17nm, which is optimized for long-haul transmission in the C-band spectrum of optical fiber. The use of single-mode fiber is essential for achieving such distances, as it provides lower signal attenuation and dispersion compared to multi-mode fiber. The module is equipped with duplex LC connectors, the standard interface for high-speed fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. The P9N38A is an ideal solution for connecting geographically dispersed data centers, extending SAN connectivity across a campus, or building robust core network infrastructure where reliable, high-bandwidth communication over long distances is critical. Its 16Gb/s speed ensures sufficient throughput for intensive storage operations and high-volume data traffic. As an HP-branded component, it is designed to be compatible with HP's extensive range of networking and storage equipment, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance within HP environments.
