Features of K2Q87A HPE Short Wave Transceiver
Form Factor and Interface
The K2Q87A HPE B Series 16GBPS Short Wave Fibre Channel QSFP Transceiver Module has a Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) form factor. This form factor is a compact and hot-swappable transceiver module that allows high-speed data transfer over fibre optic cables. The QSFP interface consists of four channels, and each channel can transmit data at a speed of up to 16Gbps.
Fibre Channel Support
The K2Q87A HPE B Series 16GBPS Short Wave Fibre Channel QSFP Transceiver Module is specifically designed for Fibre Channel networks. Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology used for storage area networks (SANs) and other high-performance computing applications. This transceiver module is compatible with both 8Gbps and 16Gbps Fibre Channel networks.
Short Wave Support
The K2Q87A HPE B Series 16GBPS Short Wave Fibre Channel QSFP Transceiver Module supports Short Wave (SW) fibre optic cables. SW cables are used for high-speed data transfer over short distances, typically up to 300 meters. This transceiver module is capable of delivering data at a speed of 16Gbps over SW cables.
Hot-swappable and Low Power Consumption
The K2Q87A HPE B Series 16GBPS Short Wave Fibre Channel QSFP Transceiver Module is a hot-swappable device, which means it can be inserted or removed from a network switch without turning off the power or affecting other devices in the network. This feature makes it easy to replace or upgrade the transceiver module without disrupting the network.
The K2Q87A HPE B Series 16GBPS Short Wave Fibre Channel QSFP Transceiver Module has a low power consumption of up to 1.5 watts. This feature reduces power consumption and helps in saving energy costs.
