Description
Transmission Speed and Distance
The HPE 849444-001 QSFP28 to SFP28 Network Adapter is designed to support data transmission at high speeds over short distances. The adapter can convert a QSFP28 port on a network device into an SFP28 port, enabling connectivity with SFP28 transceivers.
The transmission speed and distance capabilities of the adapter are determined by the specifications of the SFP28 transceiver that is used in conjunction with it. The SFP28 transceiver can support data rates of up to 28 Gbps, and can transmit data over distances of up to 10 kilometers on single-mode fiber optic cables.
However, the actual transmission speed and distance capabilities of the HPE 849444-001 adapter will depend on several factors, including the type and quality of the network cables being used, the power of the network device to which it is connected, and the operating environment.
The HPE 849444-001 adapter is designed to support high-speed data transmission over relatively short distances. This makes it ideal for use in data center environments, where high-bandwidth connectivity is required between network devices that are located in close proximity to each other.
Connector Type and Interface
The HPE 849444-001 QSFP28 to SFP28 Network Adapter is designed to convert a QSFP28 port on a network device into an SFP28 port, enabling connectivity with SFP28 transceivers. The connector type and interface of the adapter are therefore dependent on the QSFP28 and SFP28 standards.
The QSFP28 interface is a high-speed electrical interface used for connecting network equipment, such as switches, routers, and servers, to high-speed network cables. The QSFP28 interface is commonly used for transmitting data over short distances at high speeds, with data rates of up to 100 Gbps.
The SFP28 interface is a smaller version of the SFP+ interface, and is designed to support data rates of up to 28 Gbps. The SFP28 interface is commonly used for high-speed connectivity over shorter distances, typically within a data center environment.
The HPE 849444-001 adapter uses a QSFP28 interface on one end, and an SFP28 interface on the other. This enables it to connect with a QSFP28 port on a network device, and convert it to an SFP28 port, allowing for connectivity with SFP28 transceivers.
The adapter uses a male QSFP28 connector on one end, and a female SFP28 connector on the other. This allows for easy insertion and removal of the adapter, and facilitates the hot-pluggable capability of the adapter. The connector type and interface of the HPE 849444-001 adapter are therefore optimized for high-speed data transmission over short distances, making it ideal for use in data center environments.
Hot Pluggable Capability
The HPE 849444-001 QSFP28 to SFP28 Network Adapter is designed with hot pluggable capability, which means that it can be inserted or removed from a network device without requiring the device to be shut down or restarted. This feature makes it easy to install, remove, or replace the adapter as needed, without causing disruption to the network or affecting the performance of other devices that are connected to the network.
The hot pluggable capability of the HPE 849444-001 adapter is made possible by the design of the QSFP28 and SFP28 interfaces, which are both designed to be hot swappable. This means that they are designed to be inserted and removed while the network device is still running, without causing any damage to the device or to the adapter itself.
When the HPE 849444-001 adapter is inserted into a QSFP28 port on a network device, the device will automatically detect the presence of the adapter and configure itself to support the SFP28 interface. Similarly, when the adapter is removed, the network device will automatically adjust to the absence of the adapter, and reconfigure itself to support the QSFP28 interface.
The hot pluggable capability of the HPE 849444-001 adapter makes it a convenient and flexible solution for network administrators who need to add or remove network connections without disrupting network operations. It is ideal for use in data center environments where flexibility, scalability, and high availability are critical requirements.
