Network transceiver module Triton QK724A-BO SFP+ 16 Gbit/s fiber optic 850 nm (silver)

Triton QK724A-BO SFP+ 16 Gbit/s fiber optic transceiver is a compact module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength and supporting up to 16,000 Mbit/s, this silver-coloured SFP+ transceiver provides a space-saving interface for high-speed uplinks and interconnects in data centre and enterprise network environments. It is intended for use in switches, servers and storage area networks that require 10/16 Gbit/s class connectivity over multimode fiber.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a combination of small form factor and high data throughput suitable for dense port deployments. Its 850 nm multimode operation enables reliable short-range connections with low latency and stable optical performance. The module’s standard SFP+ footprint ensures broad compatibility with equipment supporting SFP+ optics, facilitating easy upgrades of existing network links without major hardware changes.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode fiber uplinks between switches
• Server-to-switch high-speed connections in racks
• Interconnects within SAN (storage area network) environments
• Top-of-rack and aggregation switch ports requiring 10/16 Gbit/s class links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ small form-factor pluggable
• Maximum data rate: 16,000 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Optical type: multimode fiber (short-range)
• Form factor: compact silver-coloured module suitable for hot-plug bays

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server or storage device while the host equipment is powered according to the vendor instructions for hot-pluggable optics. Connect the transceiver to multimode fiber cabling using appropriate LC connectors and ensure the fiber polarity and patching are correct. Verify link status through the device management interface and check that the negotiated speed matches the 10/16 Gbit/s class expected for the link.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with appropriate attenuation and connector cleanliness to maintain signal integrity. Avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii, and verify compatibility with the host device’s optics policy and firmware to ensure stable operation.
