Detailed Specifications
HPE P29144-001 Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module
Overview
The HPE P29144-001 is a high-performance SFP+ optical transceiver designed for enterprise-level Storage Area Networks (SANs). Specifically engineered for reliability within HPE B-series environments, it provides robust 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity. This module is targeted at data centers and campus networks requiring stable, high-speed links for storage, backup, and disaster recovery operations over long distances. It solves the critical need for extending SAN fabrics up to 10 kilometers without signal degradation. This transceiver utilizes 16GBase-LWL (Long Wave Laser) optics operating at a 1310nm wavelength to achieve its extended reach over single-mode fiber optic cabling. This technology is crucial for maintaining low-latency, high-throughput connections between core switches and edge devices or interconnecting geographically separated data centers. The result is consistent, predictable performance for mission-critical storage applications. Designed for operational efficiency, the P29144-001 features a hot-swappable SFP+ form factor, allowing for seamless installation and replacement without causing network downtime. Its compact design is ideal for high-density port configurations found in modern Fibre Channel switches and directors. Management integration within the HPE ecosystem ensures that administrators can monitor and maintain the link status effectively as part of their broader infrastructure management.
