Detailed Specifications
HPE Q6M30A 10GbE 300 m SFP+ SR Transceiver
Overview
The HPE Q6M30A is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ SR (short-range) transceiver, designed for multi-mode fiber environments. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports link distances up to 300 meters on OM3 fiber and up to 375 meters on OM4. This module is widely used in data centers, campus networks, and high-speed server interconnects where 10 Gb Ethernet is required over MMF. It provides hot-pluggable connectivity and integrates with HPE networking hardware for high-speed uplink or switch-to-switch links.
