Product Description
The HP R6W28A, also known as a B-series transceiver, is a specialized SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) module designed for high-speed Fibre Channel (FC) networking. It supports the 16GFC standard, delivering a data rate of 16 Gigabits per second, which is essential for demanding storage area network (SAN) environments requiring high throughput and low latency. This transceiver operates using short-wave optics, typically at a wavelength of 850nm, and is intended for use with multi-mode fiber (MMF) cables. It provides connectivity over shorter distances, commonly up to 300 meters, making it ideal for within-data-center or campus network connections. The module features a duplex LC connector, the industry standard for reliable fiber optic connections. A key feature of the R6W28A is its 'Secure Transceiver' designation, which implies enhanced security features to prevent the use of unauthorized or counterfeit modules in HP networking equipment. This helps maintain network integrity and compliance. Like other SFP+ modules, it is hot-swappable, allowing for seamless integration and maintenance without service interruptions.
