HPE E7Y42A Long Wave Length SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The HPE E7Y42A is an advanced SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) optical transceiver module engineered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise for demanding network environments. This module is specifically designed to operate over long wavelengths, typically in the 1310nm or 1550nm range, enabling high-speed data transmission over extended distances on single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables. Its primary application is in enterprise networks, data centers, and service provider infrastructures where reliable, long-reach connectivity is essential. This transceiver supports high data rates, commonly 10Gb/s, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 10Gb Fibre Channel applications. The use of single-mode fiber allows for significantly greater transmission distances compared to multi-mode fiber, often reaching several kilometers (e.g., 10km, 40km, or even more depending on the specific variant). The E7Y42A is built to meet stringent performance and reliability standards, ensuring consistent operation in critical network paths. As an HPE-branded product, the E7Y42A is optimized for compatibility and performance within HPE networking equipment, although it often adheres to industry standards allowing for use in other compatible systems. It features a standard LC connector for fiber optic connection and supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance monitoring. The hot-swappable design facilitates easy installation and replacement without the need to power down network devices, minimizing downtime.
