HP Q9D25A 10Gb/s SFP+ 80km 1557.36nm LC Transceiver

Product Description

The HP Q9D25A is a high-performance optical transceiver module engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) or Fibre Channel (10GFC) network connections over extended distances. Utilizing the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface, this module is designed for compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards that feature SFP+ ports. Its compact and hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations. This specific transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1557.36nm, which is optimized for long-reach optical transmission. The module is capable of transmitting data up to 80 kilometers (approximately 50 miles) over compatible single-mode fiber optic cables. This extended reach makes the Q9D25A an ideal choice for connecting geographically dispersed data centers, campus networks, or for backbone connections within large enterprise facilities where distance is a significant factor. The Q9D25A employs an LC connector, a standard for high-density fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. Its ability to deliver 10Gb/s speeds over such long distances makes it a crucial component for building high-bandwidth, resilient network infrastructures that demand both performance and reach. This transceiver is a key element for modern network architectures requiring robust and scalable connectivity solutions.
