HP QK724A 16Gbps SFP+ Transceiver

This HP QK724A module is a 16Gbps SFP+ transceiver designed for Fibre Channel networks. It provides a single 10GBase-X port using LC optical fibre connectivity for high-speed data links.

Suits SAN and storage upgrades needing 16Gbps

This transceiver fits administrators extending or repairing HP SAN fabrics that run at 16Gbps Fibre Channel speeds. It is not for buyers who need Ethernet-only SFP+ modules or who require longer reach than multimode fibre allows.

Hot-pluggable SFP+ installation with LC fibre

The SFP+ form factor allows hot-pluggable insertion into compatible HP switches or directors without tools. The main installation issue is mismatched fibre polarity or using single-mode patch cables instead of the required multimode LC duplex cables.

Questions about this item

Does my switch need an SFP+ slot to accept this QK724A module?

Yes, the module plugs into a standard SFP+ port and provides one 10GBase-X network interface.

Will this 16 Gbps transceiver negotiate down to 8 Gbps if I keep my older Fibre Channel hardware?

The module operates at 16 Gbps; compatibility with lower-speed links depends on the switch and cable configuration.

After inserting the AFBR-57F5PZ, how do I confirm the link is up at 16 Gbps?

Check the switch port status for a 16 Gbps Fibre Channel link and verify the LC optical connection shows a valid light signal.
