HP 455885-001 10GBase-SR SFP+ Transceiver 850nm 300m

HP 455885-001 10GBase-SR SFP+ Transceiver

This HP transceiver delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode fiber. It operates at an 850nm wavelength with a reach of 300 metres using an LC connector. The module is designed for short-range links inside data centres or campus networks. Part number 455885-001 ensures compatibility with supported HP and Compaq equipment.

Upgrading from 1 Gigabit links

Replacing 1 Gigabit uplinks with this 10GBase-SR module increases bandwidth tenfold for aggregation or server connections. The jump is worth it when existing multi-mode cabling supports the 300 metre distance and switch ports accept SFP+ optics. It provides a direct speed increase without changing the physical fibre plant. Verify port compatibility before deployment.

Suits short-range multi-mode deployments

This unit suits network engineers extending 10 Gigabit links over OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fibre within the 300 metre limit. It is not for buyers who need longer reach, single-mode fibre support, or different wavelength options. Teams requiring 10GBase-LR, ER or ZR distances should look at alternative transceiver types. Copper-based 10GBase-T connectivity is also not addressed by this optical module.
