HPE 10GB LR SFP+ module

The HPE 455886-B21 is a 10GB long-range SFP+ transceiver designed for Hewlett Packard Enterprise server environments. It provides optical connectivity for high-speed data links in compatible blade or rack systems. This accessory targets administrators extending fibre connections across longer distances within a data centre. The module carries the Hewlett Packard Enterprise brand and was first listed by the manufacturer in 2012.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify that your HPE blade or rack chassis accepts SFP+ form-factor optics and supports long-range 10GB operation. Confirm the switch or interconnect module firmware recognises this part number to avoid link negotiation issues. Ensure the fibre patch cables match the required connector polish and core size for the intended run length. Cross-reference the server accessory matrix for the specific enclosure model in use.

Upgrade scope and when it applies

This transceiver replaces an existing short-range or failed SFP+ optic when the link distance exceeds the shorter reach specification. It upgrades a copper direct-attach cable deployment to optical fibre for immunity to electromagnetic interference. The jump is worth it when the physical topology demands runs beyond the limits of SR optics or passive copper. Buyers needing higher bandwidth than 10GB or a different wavelength should evaluate alternative modules.

Questions about this item

Does the 455886-B21 transceiver ship with any cables or mounting hardware, or must those be purchased separately?

The module is supplied as the transceiver only; fibre patch cables and any required mounting brackets are sold separately.

How do I confirm that the 10 GB LR SFP+ variant matches the port speed and reach required by my HPE BladeSystem switch?

Check the switch port label for 10 Gbps LR compatibility and verify the part number 455886-B21 against the HPE BladeSystem transceiver matrix.

What does the 10 GB LR rating mean for actual link distance when the module is installed in a production server?

It supports 10 Gbps long-reach links up to 10 km over standard single-mode fibre when used with compliant patch cables.
