SFP+ transceiver module HPE C8R24B Fiber optic 16000 Mbit/s

The HPE C8R24B SFP+ transceiver module is a fiber-optic short-range solution designed for high-speed connections in HPE MSA storage and compatible SFP+ ports. Supplied as a 4-pack, each module supports up to 16,000 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength, making it suitable for short-reach multimode fiber links in data center and SAN environments.

Advantages

These SFP+ transceivers offer compact form factor and hot-pluggable compatibility with SFP+ interfaces, enabling straightforward integration and replacement in compatible network and storage equipment. The modules deliver 16 Gbps class performance for low-latency storage area network connections and are provided in a four-unit package for multi-port deployments or spare inventory.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections in HPE MSA storage systems
• 16 Gbps Fibre Channel links in SAN environments
• Upgrading or replacing SFP+ ports in switches, hosts, and storage arrays

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot on the switch, host bus adapter, or storage array until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cable (matching the 850 nm short-range specification) between transceivers. Verify link status and speed in your device management interface and configure Fibre Channel or Ethernet settings as required by your network or storage environment.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for short-reach 850 nm operation and ensure port firmware and optics compatibility with HPE MSA or other target devices. Keep spare transceivers on hand for rapid replacement and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling modules.
