Four-pack 1Gb short-wave transceivers

This pack contains four HP C8S75A SFP+ transceiver modules rated for 1000Base-SW Gigabit Ethernet over optical fibre. Each unit presents a single 1000Base-SW network port. The modules are designed for HP MSA 2040 storage arrays that require 1 Gb short-wave iSCSI connectivity.

Hot-plug SFP+ installation

The transceivers use the standard SFP+ form factor and install by sliding into a compatible cage until they latch. No tools or configuration files are required. The only common issue is inserting a module into a port that does not support 1000Base-SW speeds or single-mode fibre, which prevents the link from coming up.

Four links of 1 Gb optical capacity

Together the four modules provide four independent 1 Gb optical links, giving enough headroom for typical iSCSI traffic to an MSA 2040 array. The limit is reached when the storage controller has no further SFP+ cages or when the network design demands 10 Gb or long-range optics, which these short-wave units cannot supply.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 1000Base-SW link is active after installing the transceiver in an MSA 2040?

Check the port LED on the MSA 2040; a steady green light confirms a valid 1000Base-SW connection.

What comes in the pack and what must be sourced separately?

The pack contains four HP C8S75A SFP+ transceiver modules; compatible LC duplex multimode fibre patch cables are not included.

Which version should I choose for a 1 Gb short-wave iSCSI link on an MSA 2040?

The C8S75A 4-pack is the correct 1000Base-SW short-wave option qualified for the MSA 2040.
