What is the maximum distance supported by this transceiver?

The AddOn HP C8S72A compatible SFP+ supports up to 300m over multi-mode fiber (MMF) at 850nm wavelength, ideal for datacenter short-reach links. It uses LC duplex connectors and maintains performance across OM3/OM4/OM5 cables with a robust link budget.

Is this transceiver compatible with HP equipment?

Yes, it is fully compatible with HP C-Series switches like SN6610C, programmed and tested for identical performance to the OEM C8S72A. Supports 16GBase-SW Fibre Channel and backward compatible with 8G/4G modes via SFP+ slots.

What data rates does it support?

It handles 4.25 Gbps to 14.025 Gbps, covering 16G (14.025 Gbps), 10G (10.52 Gbps), 8G (8.5 Gbps), and 4G (4.25 Gbps) Fibre Channel applications, with DDM for monitoring.

What compliance standards does it meet?

TAA compliant for government procurement, MSA SFF-8431, FC-PI-5 Rev 6.00, CE/RoHS, and laser safety per IEC60825-1. Ensures seamless integration in enterprise networks.

What are the physical specifications?

Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor with LC duplex connector, operates 0°-70°C, uses +3.3V power, VSCEL laser transmitter, and PIN photodiode receiver for reliable MMF operation.

Is it suitable for datacenter SAN environments?

Yes, designed for datacenter Fibre Channel SANs, providing 16GBase-SW throughput up to 300m, hot-swap capability, and compatibility with HP storage fabrics for high-availability storage interconnects.
