HPE R6L61A Smartoptics D280 32/16G-DWDM 10km SFP28 Transceiver Module

Product Description

The HPE R6L61A, part of the Smartoptics D280 series, is an advanced SFP28 transceiver module designed for high-performance storage and data networking applications. It supports dual data rates of 32 Gbps and 16 Gbps, commonly utilized in Fibre Channel environments, offering flexibility and backward compatibility. The SFP28 form factor facilitates high port density in compatible switches and host bus adapters. This transceiver is engineered for extended-reach applications, capable of transmitting data up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF). A primary feature is its integration of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. DWDM enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple independent optical signals, each on a distinct wavelength, over a single fiber strand, thereby significantly enhancing network capacity and operational efficiency. The R6L61A is instrumental in constructing scalable and high-capacity optical networks, particularly within enterprise data centers, service provider infrastructures, and storage area networks (SANs) where maximizing fiber utilization and achieving long-distance connectivity are critical requirements. Its DWDM capability empowers service providers and large enterprises to deploy high-bandwidth services efficiently over existing fiber optic infrastructure.
