HPE BLC VC Flexfabric 10GB Module

The HPE BLC VC Flexfabric 10GB 24 Port Option is an expansion module for HP c-Class BladeSystem enclosures. It provides 24 ports of 10 Gigabit connectivity and supports 8 Gb Fibre Channel. The module uses SFP+ slots for optical networking and data networking applications. It is sold new as a single packaged unit.

For BladeSystem I/O expansion

This module suits administrators expanding I/O capacity within an existing HP c-Class BladeSystem environment. It fits requirements for 10 Gb Ethernet and 8 Gb Fibre Channel over a unified fabric. Buyers without a compatible BladeSystem enclosure or those needing different port counts or speeds should look at other options.

24 ports and 8 SFP+ slots

The decisive specification is the combination of 24 total ports and 8 SFP+ expansion slots. This configuration defines the module's connectivity density and transceiver flexibility for the BladeSystem chassis. Verify that your enclosure supports this module before purchase.

Questions about this item

When do the SFP+ transceivers in the 24-port FlexFabric module typically need replacement?

The SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and can be swapped individually when a link fails or a different reach is required, without removing the module from the c-Class enclosure.

Which resource saturates first when all 24 ports run at 10 Gb sustained throughput?

The module provides 24 ports of 10 Gb connectivity; the uplink capacity of the enclosing BladeSystem interconnect bay becomes the limiting factor before the module itself.

How much additional heat does the module add to a fully populated c-Class chassis running continuously?

The module draws power from the chassis mid-plane; its thermal contribution is managed by the shared BladeSystem fans and stays within the enclosure's designed cooling envelope.
