HPE 10Gb SFP+ Short Wave Extended Temperature 1-pack Pull Tab Optical Transceiver

Designed for reliability and reach, the HPE 10Gb SFP+ Short Wave Extended Temperature Optical Transceiver is built to power high-performance data center networks, campus deployments, and edge infrastructures where uptime and consistent latency are non-negotiable. This transceiver is part of the HPE StoreFabric family, a portfolio engineered to optimize interconnects between compute, storage, and networking gear. With a focus on scalability, this module enables seamless 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity across a wide range of environments, from controlled data halls to more demanding, climate-variable locations. The short-wave, extended-temperature design is purpose-built to maintain signal integrity and low-latency performance even when conditions deviate from the ideal, helping to future-proof your network as workloads evolve and traffic grows.

• The 10Gb SFP+ short-wave transceiver delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency fiber connectivity for data centers and enterprise networks, supporting rapid, reliable interconnects between servers, switches, and storage devices. This enables faster data movement, improved application responsiveness, and more consistent performance during peak periods.
• Extended temperature operation ensures dependable performance in challenging environments. Whether deployed in partially conditioned data center corners, remote cabinets, or outdoor-facing racked equipment, the transceiver maintains signal integrity and link stability across a wider operating range, reducing the need for frequent replacements and downtime.
• Pull-tab design simplifies maintenance and field replacements. The intuitive pull-tab handle provides quick removal and installation, minimizing service window time and reducing the risk of mishandling during hot-swap operations in busy data center rows.
• HPE StoreFabric compatibility supports a cohesive ecosystem of Ethernet transceivers, active optical cables (AOC), and direct-attached copper (DAC) cables. This interoperability helps unify your fabric, streamline procurement, and ensure predictable performance across mixed vendor environments where you rely on standardized SFP+ interfaces.
• Ideal for demanding workloads including virtualized environments, big-data analytics, and storage-intensive applications. The transceiver helps maximize throughput and minimize latency, enabling quick data access, faster backups, and smoother live migrations while preserving slot availability for future expansion.

how to install HPE 10Gb SFP+ Short Wave Extended Temperature 1-pack Pull Tab Optical Transceiver

• 1. Power down or follow your organization’s hot-swap policy to prepare for installation if you are replacing an existing module in a live chassis. Confirm that the host device and operating system support SFP+ modules and 10 Gb Ethernet speeds.
• 2. Remove the existing transceiver or locate an available SFP+ slot with no obstruction to the lever, latch, or pull-tab. Ensure you have the correct tool-free clearance and that the slot is free of debris before inserting the new module.
• 3. Align the transceiver with the port and insert it firmly into the SFP+ slot until it is seated and the pull-tab is accessible. Do not force the module; if it does not seat with gentle pressure, remove it and re-align.
• 4. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver’s connector, ensuring the fiber type (multimode or single-mode per your design), cable polarity, and the correct connector type are matched to the receiver/transmitter pair. Avoid excessive bending and keep cable routing neat to prevent signal degradation.
• 5. Power on the device (or re-enable hot-swap operation) and verify link status via the switch or server management interface. Run basic connectivity tests and throughput checks to confirm that the 10 Gb link is active, stable, and performing as expected before deploying into production.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the primary use of this transceiver? It is designed to enable reliable 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity with extended-temperature performance, suitable for data centers, edge deployments, and enterprise networks requiring robust interconnects between compute and storage nodes.
• Is this transceiver compatible with non-HPE devices? It is designed for interoperability within the SFP+ ecosystem and is commonly used with HPE StoreFabric components.
