FAQ
What type of network connection does this transceiver support?
The transceiver supports a 10GBase-SW iSCSI connection over optical fiber. This provides 10Gbps data transfer rates using the iSCSI protocol, which is optimized for block-level storage access over IP networks, making it ideal for storage area network deployments.
How many transceivers come in this package?
This product is packaged as a four-pack, containing four identical HPE C8R25B SFP+ transceivers. This bulk packaging is designed for deployments requiring multiple optical connections, such as populating multiple ports on a storage array or switch.
What is the difference between this SFP+ and standard Ethernet transceivers?
This transceiver is specifically optimized for iSCSI storage traffic over 10GBase-SW technology, whereas standard Ethernet SFP+ modules may be designed for general data networking. The iSCSI optimization ensures efficient block storage protocol handling, and the 10GBase-SW technology is tailored for storage applications over optical fiber.
