The HPE A7446B Storageworks 4GB Short wave Single Transceiver is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for use in storage area network (SAN) environments. This transceiver is specifically designed to work with HPE Storageworks products and is used to connect SAN switches, routers, and storage arrays to each other.
The A7446B transceiver module supports a short wave (SW) optical interface and operates at a data rate of 4 Gbps. It is designed to be hot-pluggable, meaning that it can be inserted and removed from the system without the need to power down or restart the system.
The A7446B transceiver module is equipped with a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) connector that allows it to be connected to fiber optic cables. This connector supports a single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable and is compliant with the SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standard.
The A7446B transceiver module is designed to provide high-speed connectivity between SAN devices over distances of up to 500 meters. It supports a wavelength of 850nm and is capable of transmitting and receiving data over two fiber optic strands using the Fibre Channel protocol.
The HPE A7446B StorageWorks 4GB Short Wave Single Transceiver is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for use with Fibre Channel (FC) networks.
The interface type of the A7446B transceiver is Fibre Channel, which is a high-speed networking technology used for storage area networks (SANs). Specifically, the A7446B is designed to support FC data rates of up to 4 Gbps.
The connector type used by the A7446B transceiver is the LC (Lucent Connector), which is a small, rectangular fiber optic connector. LC connectors are widely used in data center environments due to their small size and low insertion loss.
To use the A7446B transceiver, it must be inserted into an SFP slot on a compatible network device, such as a Fibre Channel switch or host bus adapter (HBA). The transceiver can then be connected to a fiber optic cable using an LC connector on both ends of the cable.
