16 Gb Fibre Channel Transceiver 4-Pack

This pack contains four HP C8R24B SFP+ transceivers built for 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel networks. Each module uses short-wave optics over optical fibre and presents a single Fibre Channel port. They are designed for direct insertion into compatible switches or storage arrays.

Suits Fibre Channel SAN builds.

These transceivers serve storage-area networks that run native 16 Gb Fibre Channel. Teams deploying pure Ethernet, InfiniBand or lower-speed Fibre Channel links should select different modules. The short-wave lasers also limit reach compared with long-wave alternatives.

16 Gb Fibre Channel speed and short-wave optics

The decisive specification is the 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel rate combined with short-wave optical fibre support. This pairing determines which switch ports and cable plant the modules will work with.

Questions about this item

Does each SFP+ transceiver in the 4-pack require a single LC duplex fibre patch cord to connect to my switch?

Yes, each module presents one Fiber Channel port that accepts an LC duplex cable for a 16 Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel link.

Will these 16 Gbit transceivers negotiate down to 8 Gbit or 4 Gbit if I plug them into an older MSA controller?

The modules are specified for 16 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel; speed negotiation depends on the host switch or controller firmware.

After installation, which indicator confirms the transceiver is operating at the rated 16 Gbit speed?

Check the host switch port LEDs or management interface for a 16 Gbit link status and clean CRC counters on the Fibre Channel interface.
