HP R6L20A 16Gb/s SFP+ 40km 1540.56nm LC Single-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Description

The HP R6L20A is a high-performance SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module engineered for 16 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel or Ethernet applications. This transceiver is specifically designed for long-distance communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cable, enabling network links of up to 40 kilometers. The use of single-mode fiber allows for significantly greater transmission distances compared to multi-mode fiber, making this module ideal for Wide Area Network (WAN) connections, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and long-haul data center interconnects. Operating at a specific wavelength of 1540.56nm, this transceiver is part of the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) or Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) family, allowing it to coexist with other wavelengths on the same fiber strand. It features a standard LC connector, which is the most common type for single-mode fiber connections, ensuring secure and reliable physical termination. The 16Gb/s speed makes it suitable for demanding storage area network (SAN) applications or high-speed Ethernet links where performance and reach are critical. The HP R6L20A provides a robust solution for extending network connectivity across significant geographical distances. Its ability to transmit data at high speeds over 40km of single-mode fiber makes it a valuable component for building resilient and scalable network infrastructures. This transceiver is designed for hot-swappable installation in compatible SFP+ ports on switches, routers, or host bus adapters (HBAs), offering flexibility and ease of deployment.
