HPE R1N55A 40Gb 2km MPO IP4P QSFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The HPE R1N55A 40Gbps QSFP+ transceiver module is engineered for high-density, high-performance networking applications within data centers. It provides a 40 Gigabit Ethernet connection utilizing the QSFP+ form factor, which is designed for high-speed interconnects. This module is specifically intended for IP interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that supports this standard for data transmission. The transceiver supports a transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for links between racks, rows, or within larger data center facilities. It employs MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connectors, which are standard for high-density fiber optic applications, allowing for the termination of multiple fibers in a single connector. This is crucial for achieving the high bandwidth required for 40Gbps speeds, typically by aggregating four parallel fiber optic lanes. The HPE R1N55A is a key component for modern data center network architectures, enabling high-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connectivity. Its design focuses on delivering reliable performance and efficient use of cabling infrastructure. The module's compatibility with various HPE networking platforms ensures seamless integration into existing or new data center deployments, supporting the increasing demands for bandwidth driven by cloud computing, big data, and virtualization.
