SPLC-20-8-1-C - HP 2GB/s Fibre Channel Optical SFP Transceiver Module

Product Description

The SPLC-20-8-1-C, identified by its association with HP and a 2Gb/s speed, is an optical SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically engineered for Fibre Channel applications. This module facilitates high-speed data communication within Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling reliable and efficient connectivity between servers and storage arrays. The 2Gb/s data rate ensures adequate performance for many enterprise storage requirements, supporting critical business operations that rely on fast access to data. As an SFP module, it offers a compact and hot-pluggable design, allowing for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host device. This feature is crucial for maintaining high availability in SAN environments. The optical interface utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is a standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SAN infrastructure components. The module is designed to operate over multi-mode fiber (MMF), typically at a wavelength of 850 nm, for shorter to medium-range connections within a data center. This transceiver is a key component for HP storage solutions, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance within HP's SAN ecosystem. It plays a vital role in environments where data integrity and speed are paramount, such as in database operations, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing. The SPLC-20-8-1-C represents a reliable and cost-effective solution for upgrading or maintaining Fibre Channel connectivity at 2Gb/s speeds.
