HPE R6L83A Smartoptics D500 32/16G-DWDM 10km SFP28 Transceiver Module

Product Description

The HPE R6L83A, part of the Smartoptics D500 series, is a high-performance SFP28 transceiver module engineered for demanding data center and enterprise networking environments. It supports dual-rate Fibre Channel speeds of 16Gb/s and 32Gb/s, providing the flexibility needed for evolving storage area networks (SANs). The module's integration of DWDM technology allows for the transmission of multiple data streams over a single fiber strand by assigning each stream a unique wavelength. This transceiver is optimized for extended reach applications, capable of transmitting data up to 10 kilometers over standard single-mode fiber (SMF). The duplex LC connector ensures a secure and reliable physical connection. Its design is focused on maximizing network bandwidth and reducing the need for extensive fiber cabling, which is particularly beneficial in large-scale deployments where space and infrastructure costs are critical considerations. The R6L83A is a key component for building high-density, high-speed, and long-distance optical networks. It enables efficient use of existing fiber infrastructure by leveraging DWDM, allowing for significant capacity expansion without requiring new fiber runs. This makes it an ideal solution for SAN upgrades, data center interconnects, and other applications requiring robust and scalable optical connectivity.
