SFP+ transceiver module HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb LR

The HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb LR SFP+ transceiver module is a compact, MSA‑certified fiber optic module designed for 10 GbE connectivity in blade server environments. With a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s and an SFP+ interface, the module supports long‑reach fiber links while operating at a 3.3 V input. Its small form factor (13.4 mm × 56.5 mm × 8.5 mm) allows installation in compatible HPE BladeSystem c-Class slots to extend network capacity and maintain interoperability with standard SFP+ ports.

Advantages

MSA certification ensures broad compatibility with SFP+ ports and networking equipment. The 10 Gb LR design supports long‑reach fiber connections, enabling higher bandwidth over greater distances compared with short‑range optics. Low-voltage 3.3 V operation and a compact footprint make the module suitable for dense blade chassis where space and power efficiency are important.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in HPE BladeSystem c-Class environments
• Long‑reach fiber connections between servers, switches, and aggregation points
• Network upgrades requiring MSA‑certified SFP+ transceivers

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver module into a compatible SFP+ slot on an HPE BladeSystem c‑Class or other supported switch or adapter. Ensure the device is powered down or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by the hardware vendor. Connect the appropriate single‑mode fiber optic cable to the module's LC connector and verify link status through the host system's management interface. Monitor link indicators and system logs to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber rated for long‑reach links and verify compatibility with your switch or network adapter firmware. Keep transceiver contact surfaces clean and store unused modules in dust caps. For optimal performance, match transceiver type (LR) to the link distance and optical budget requirements of your network.
