HP R6L42A 100Gb/s QSFP28 LC Single-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Description

The HP R6L42A is a cutting-edge QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) optical transceiver module, delivering 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity. The QSFP28 form factor is designed for high-density, high-speed networking applications, commonly found in modern data centers and high-performance computing environments. This module enables network devices to achieve aggregate data rates of 100 Gb/s, facilitating massive data transfers and high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, servers, and storage systems. This specific transceiver is designed for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, which are essential for achieving high bandwidth and long-reach communications. It utilizes LC duplex connectors, the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. While the specific reach is not detailed in the title, QSFP28 modules over SMF typically support distances ranging from short links (e.g., 100m) to several kilometers, depending on the specific variant and optics used. The R6L42A module is a key component for building scalable and future-proof network infrastructures. Its hot-swappable nature allows for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations, which is critical in demanding data center environments. By deploying these high-speed transceivers, organizations can meet the ever-increasing demands for bandwidth driven by cloud computing, big data analytics, and AI/ML workloads.
