Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ transceiver operates at 10 Gbps over single-mode fiber using LC connectors, supporting distances typical for LR applications in data centers and enterprise networks. It converts electrical signals to optical signals for fiber transmission, maintaining signal integrity and low latency across network segments.
The module is engineered for stability in continuous operation, with low power consumption and minimal heat generation. Its design includes built-in digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, though specific DDM features depend on the host device's support.
Key Product Advantages
This transceiver delivers essential benefits for fiber optic network deployments, combining compatibility, performance, and reliability in a standardized package.
HP Compatibility Assurance
Specifically validated for HP networking hardware, ensuring plug-and-play functionality without firmware issues or compatibility warnings in supported devices.
- Designed for HP part numbers 455886-B21 and 455888-001
- MSA compliance guarantees interoperability
Long-Range Fiber Support
Enables extended network links over single-mode fiber, ideal for connecting buildings, data center rows, or network segments where copper cabling is impractical.
- Optimized for LR distances
- Single-mode fiber for minimal signal loss
Compact and Efficient Design
The small form factor saves space in densely populated network equipment, while efficient operation reduces overall power draw and cooling requirements in rack environments.
- Standard SFP+ dimensions
- RoHS compliant for environmental safety
Deployment / Use Cases
This transceiver is suited for scenarios requiring high-speed, long-distance fiber connections within HP-based network infrastructures. It serves as a critical component in modern data centers, enterprise backbones, and service provider networks.
Common applications include uplinks between network switches, connections to servers or storage arrays, and extensions for network segmentation. Its single-mode fiber support makes it particularly valuable for campus-wide or metro-area network links where distance exceeds multimode capabilities.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect HP switches across data center rows or between facilities using single-mode fiber for high-bandwidth, low-latency backbone links.
Enterprise Network Expansion
Upgrade existing HP networks to 10GbE by populating SFP+ slots with these transceivers, enabling faster access to network resources and improved application performance.
Physical Profile
The transceiver measures 0.53" wide by 0.49" high by 2.21" deep (13.40 mm x 12.50 mm x 56.10 mm), fitting standard SFP+ slots. Its lightweight design at 0.59 oz (16.78 g) minimizes load on network equipment, and the robust housing protects internal components from physical damage and EMI interference.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance supported by this 10GBASE-LR transceiver?
The 10GBASE-LR specification typically supports distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, though actual reach depends on fiber quality, connectors, and network conditions. This transceiver is designed for long-range applications within that standard.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-HP network equipment?
While designed and validated for HP hardware, its MSA compliance means it should work in any SFP+ slot that accepts third-party modules, but compatibility is not guaranteed. Always verify with the equipment manufacturer before deployment in non-HP devices.
Does this SFP+ transceiver support digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM)?
Yes, it includes DDM capabilities for monitoring parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power, provided the host switch or router supports these features. This allows for proactive network management and troubleshooting.
