Detailed Specifications
HPE 785338-001 Virtual Connect SE 16 Gb FC Module
Overview
The HPE 785338-001 is a high-density Fibre Channel switch module designed for use within the HPE Synergy / Virtual Connect SE chassis family in data-centre storage fabrics. It delivers 16 Gb/s per port across up to 24 active Fibre Channel ports (via four quad SFP+ or equivalent zones), enabling large-scale SAN connectivity for storage arrays, servers and backup systems. The module plugs into a chassis back-plane and supports zoning, virtual machine awareness and SAN switching in converged infrastructure environments. The unit is intended for enterprise SAN deployments where blade-based compute, converged infrastructure and simplified SAN topology are required.
Key Features
Up to 24 Fibre Channel ports at 16 Gb/s each (in supported configuration)
Designed for HPE Synergy / Virtual Connect SE modular chassis
VM-aware zoning and SAN fabric integration for converged compute/storage environments
High-port-density module supports blade-infrastructure SAN connectivity
