HP-Compatible 10G SFP+ Module

This SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over single-mode fiber at 1310nm with LC connectors. It is designed, programmed and tested for compatibility with HPE switches including BladeSystem, 562SFP+, 560SFP+, 537SFP+ and SimpliVity 380. The module supports 10GBASE-LR networks up to 10 km (6.2 mi). It is a hot-swappable component for existing HP infrastructure.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your switch or router accepts SFP+ modules and is listed among the compatible HPE models. Confirm the fiber plant uses single-mode cable with LC duplex patch cords. Ensure the link budget matches the 10 km maximum distance specification. The unit draws less than 1.3W, so check available port power budget.

Sustained Operation

Digital Diagnostics Monitoring provides real-time temperature, voltage and optical power data during continuous use. The reported MTBF of 1,386,624,697 hours indicates long-term reliability under load. Low power consumption reduces thermal stress on the host chassis. Hot-swap capability allows replacement without interrupting adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy cables separately?

The package includes one SFP+ transceiver module; single-mode fiber patch cables with LC connectors must be purchased separately to complete the link.

How do I know this module matches the 10GBASE-LR 10 km specification for my HPE switch?

It is programmed and tested for 100% HPE 455886-B21 compatibility, operates at 1310 nm over single-mode fiber with LC ports, and supports the full 10 km reach at 10 Gbps.

What does the 10 Gbps transfer rate mean once the transceiver is installed in a BladeSystem or 562SFP+ switch?

The module delivers line-rate 10 GbE throughput with power draw under 1.3 W, hot-swap insertion, and Digital Diagnostics Monitoring for real-time link health visibility.
