Moonshot 10 Gb Uplink 16-SFP+ Expansion Module

The HPE 784973-001 Moonshot 10 Gb Uplink 16-SFP+ Expansion Moduleis a high-performance uplink solution designed for HPE Moonshot systems like the 1500 and 180g switch modules. It delivers 16 SSFP+ ports capable of supporting both 1 GbE and 10 GbE connectivity, offering flexible, ultra-fast uplinks that dramatically enhance networking capacity. Ideal for fluid scalability in cloud, HPC, or dense server environments, this Expansion Module  enables seamless integration and increased backbone performance—all in a compact, chassis-mounted form.

Features

Tailored for Moonshot’s modular architecture, this eExpansion Module mounts into the rear uplink bay and provides 16 SFP+ ports, allowing administrators to upgrade to high-speed 10 GbE uplinks without disrupting existing infrastructure. Each port supports SFP+ modules—whether fiber or copper—for flexible deployment across diverse media types.With each port delivering up to 10 Gb/s, the module ensures ultra-low-latency, high-throughput performance—ideal for data-intensive workloads, such as virtualization, analytics, and scalable IT services. The compact, low-power design consumes just 18 Watts, maintaining energy efficiency even under heavy traffic.Fully compatible with Moonshot’s 1500 and 180g switch modules, this kit offers seamless installation and integration. Designed for reliability, refurbished units are tested and backed by a 90-day warranty, making them a cost-effective upgrade for architecture-conscious environments.

Advanced Options

Built for Moonshot's high-density chassis, the 784973-001 module boosts uplink throughput significantly—16 ports at 10 Gb/s total up to 160 Gb/s of capacity. This provides ample bandwidth for aggregated traffic across many server cartridges, maintaining low-latency performance even under peak loads.Despite its high performance, the module draws only ~18 W—helping keep overall energy consumption in check. Its modular form factor enables hot-swap upgrades and minimal downtime during expansion. Clear front-panel LEDs provide visibility into port and system status, aiding diagnostics.
