HPE R1N46A 112.2Gb/s 100GBase-CWDM4 Single-mode Fibre 2km LC Connector QSFP28 Transceiver

Product Description

This HPE R1N46A is a high-performance QSFP28 transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It enables data transmission at speeds up to 100Gbps over a distance of 2 kilometers using single-mode fiber optic cabling. The module utilizes CWDM4 (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, which allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber pair by using different wavelengths, thereby maximizing bandwidth efficiency. The transceiver features a duplex LC connector, the standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. Its QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) form factor is designed for high-density 100GbE applications and supports hot-swapping, allowing for easy installation and maintenance in compatible HPE network switches and routers without service interruption. The R1N46A is ideal for demanding data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise backbone networks where high bandwidth and extended reach are critical. Its specific design for CWDM4 wavelengths makes it suitable for environments utilizing CWDM infrastructure, providing a robust and efficient solution for 100Gbps connectivity over moderate distances.
