What distance is the HPE 656436-001 designed to support?

The HPE 656436-001 is described as a Long Wave 10km transceiver. This means it is intended for Fibre Channel links with a distance class of up to 10 kilometers when deployed within suitable optical conditions and compatible infrastructure. This makes it useful for extended campus or metropolitan Fibre Channel connections.

Which networking category does the HPE 656436-001 belong to?

The HPE 656436-001 falls under Transceivers, SFP+ Fibre Channel Transceiver, specifically in the 16Gb Long Wave 10km category. This classification indicates that it is an SFP+ module intended for Fibre Channel networks that are designed around 16Gb operation and require a Long Wave 10km reach profile.

Is the HPE 656436-001 suitable for SFP+ Fibre Channel switch ports?

Yes, the HPE 656436-001 is explicitly categorized as an SFP+ Fibre Channel Transceiver. This means it is designed to be used in compatible SFP+ slots that support Fibre Channel, such as those found on appropriate switches or host adapters, provided they are aligned with its 16Gb Long Wave 10km classification.

How can I accurately reference this transceiver for procurement?

For procurement and inventory tracking, reference the product as HPE B-series 16Gb SFP+ LW 10km Transceiver with SKU 656436-001. Using the exact SKU and full model description helps avoid confusion with other SFP+ or Fibre Channel transceivers and supports consistent ordering across projects and locations.
