Description
The HP R6K97A is a high-speed transceiver module engineered for demanding storage and networking applications that require extended reach. Operating at 16Gb/s, it is suitable for both Fibre Channel SANs (Storage Area Networks) and high-performance Ethernet links. The module is specifically designed for long-haul transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables, capable of reaching distances of up to 40 kilometers. This extended reach capability makes the R6K97A an ideal choice for connecting geographically dispersed data centers, disaster recovery sites, or for backbone links within large campus networks. The SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor ensures compatibility with a wide array of HP storage and networking equipment, as well as other SFP+ enabled devices. Its hot-pluggable nature allows for easy installation and replacement without service interruption. The module utilizes specific optical wavelengths optimized for long-distance transmission over single-mode fiber. While the exact wavelength is not detailed in the product name, 40km SMF transceivers typically operate in the 1550nm range. The R6K97A provides a reliable and efficient solution for extending high-speed connectivity across significant distances, crucial for business continuity and robust network architectures.
