HP SFP transceiver 10GBase-SW iSCSI 4-pack MSA 2050

SKU CH-8HS9-FS4AS

Pack of four 10GBase-SW iSCSI SFP transceivers for HPE MSA 2050 storage

  • Product typeTransceiver
  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet speed for fast data networking
  • 10GBase-SW iSCSI interface for optical network connectivity
  • Optical fiber media support for reliable long-distance links
  • Four transceivers included for multi-port deployment
  • Compatible with HPE MSA 2050 storage systems

HP 10GBase-SW SFP transceiver 4-pack

This pack contains four 10GBase-SW iSCSI transceivers built for optical-fibre networks. Each module provides a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet port for data networking. The transceivers are validated for HPE MSA 2050 storage arrays.

MSA 2050 validated compatibility

The modules are qualified specifically for the MSA 2050 platform, so the storage firmware recognises them without extra configuration. Using validated optics avoids link errors that can appear with generic alternatives. The four-pack format matches typical dual-controller deployments.

Hot-plug SFP installation

Each transceiver uses the standard SFP form factor and can be inserted or removed while the system is running. Alignment tabs guide the module into the cage until it clicks. The most common issue is inserting the transceiver upside down, which prevents the latch from engaging.

Questions about this item

How often will the SFP modules in this 4-pack need replacement under normal optical network operation?

The transceivers are solid-state optical devices with no moving parts, so they do not have a scheduled replacement interval; they remain in service until a link budget or hardware failure occurs.

What is the first limit reached when the 10GBase-SW iSCSI link runs continuously at line rate?

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface caps sustained throughput at the 10 Gbit/s line rate, which becomes the bottleneck before any thermal or protocol constraint appears.

How much heat does each transceiver produce when installed in an HPE MSA 2050 and running all day?

Each SFP module is a low-power optical transceiver that dissipates only a few watts, so the storage enclosure's standard airflow handles the heat without additional cooling.
