16Gb Fibre Channel transceiver

This Axiom QK724A-AX module delivers 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity over multi-mode fibre. It operates at a 1310nm wavelength with an LC duplex connector. The SFP form factor complies with the SFP MSA and IEEE 802.3z standards. It supports link distances up to 100m.

Suited for short-range storage links

This transceiver suits HP environments needing 16Gb short-wave Fibre Channel connections within a rack or row. It is not for networks requiring single-mode fibre reach or Ethernet-only SFP+ modules. Buyers needing distances beyond 100m or different data rates should select another part.

100m reach on multi-mode fibre

The 100m distance rating on multi-mode fibre is the specification that determines compatibility. Verify your patch cables and patch-panel links stay within this limit. Exceeding it will cause signal loss and link errors. The 1310nm wavelength and LC connector must match the opposing port.

Questions about this item

What type of switch or HBA port does the QK724A-AX plug into?

The QK724A-AX uses an SFP form factor with an LC connector and requires a compatible SFP port that supports 16Gb Fibre Channel.

Can this 1310nm module link with existing 8Gb multi-mode gear over OM3 fibre?

Yes, the module complies with IEEE 802.3z and operates at 1310nm over multi-mode fibre up to 100m, so it will interoperate with 8Gb equipment at the lower speed.

How do I confirm the transceiver is running at the full 16Gb rate after installation?

Check the switch or HBA management interface; it should report the module as a 16Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ with a 1310nm wavelength and a link distance of 100m.
