HP Q0G11A 16Gb/s SFP+ 40km 1528.77nm Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP Q0G11A is a high-performance optical transceiver module utilizing the SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor. It is engineered to support data rates of 16Gbps, making it suitable for both 16G Fibre Channel SAN applications and 16G Ethernet networking. This module is specifically designed for long-reach optical transmission, capable of sending data signals up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber optic cable. The specific operating wavelength of 1528.77nm is crucial for its long-distance performance and compatibility within DWDM systems if used in such configurations, though it is primarily specified as a standalone long-reach transceiver. The module features a Duplex LC connector, which is the standard interface for connecting fiber optic cables in high-speed networking environments. Its compatibility with SFP+ ports means it can be readily integrated into a wide range of network switches, routers, and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) that support this standard. The 40km reach capability makes the Q0G11A an essential component for extending network connectivity between geographically separated data centers, connecting campus buildings, or establishing robust links across large enterprise facilities. This HP transceiver provides a reliable and efficient solution for organizations requiring high-bandwidth, long-distance optical communication. Its ability to operate at 16Gbps ensures that demanding applications, such as large-scale data transfers, high-performance computing, and critical storage operations, can be supported without performance degradation. The Q0G11A is a key enabler for building scalable and resilient network infrastructures that span significant distances, ensuring data integrity and availability.
