HP Enterprise 32Gb SFP+ Short Wave Fibre Channel ricetrasmettitore confezione da 4, S3Y23A, 32 Gbit/s, SFP+

HP Enterprise 32Gb SFP+ Short Wave Fibre Channel Transceiver quad pack provides four identical optical modules designed for short-wave fibre channel links. Each transceiver uses an SFP+ form factor and delivers up to 32 Gbit/s for high-speed storage area network (SAN) connections. The pack is intended for easy hot-plug deployment into compatible switches, HBAs and storage arrays, enabling scalable optical connectivity for fibre channel environments.

Advantages

These short-wave SFP+ transceivers offer high throughput with 32 Gbit/s nominal data rate per module while maintaining compact SFP+ dimensions for flexible port usage. The modules are suitable for hot-swapping, which reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Optical connectivity reduces electromagnetic interference and supports longer pixel-stable links compared with copper for many SAN topologies. The quad pack format simplifies procurement and spare-part management for data center operations.

Suitable for

• SAN uplinks and switch-to-switch fibre channel links
• Storage arrays and host bus adapter (HBA) connections
• Data center deployments requiring high-bandwidth optical ports
• Environments where hot-pluggable SFP+ modules simplify maintenance

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Maximum data rate: 32 Gbit/s per module
• Optical type: short-wave fibre channel transceiver
• Pack quantity: 4 modules
• Typical use: fibre channel SAN optical links
• Physical pack dimensions: 127 × 76.2 × 177.8 mm

How to use

Install each transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, HBA or storage array following the host equipment manufacturer’s insertion procedure. Ensure fiber patch cords and connectors match the transceiver’s short-wave optical interface and that link partners are configured for the appropriate 32 Gbit/s speed or an interoperable supported rate. Perform link verification and diagnostics using switch or HBA management tools after installation. Modules support hot-plugging; power down is not required when the host supports hot-swap operations, though following site change-control procedures is recommended.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode or multimode fiber and appropriate LC connectors as specified by the host equipment vendor. Keep transceiver dust caps in place until installation and avoid touching optical endfaces. Match transceivers with compatible vendor hardware firmware to ensure proper authentication and link stability. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and within recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
