Detailed Specifications
HPE 720999-001 SFP+ Transceiver Module
Overview
The HPE 720999-001 is a 16 Gb Fibre Channel short-wave SFP+ transceiver module designed for enterprise SAN environments. It is used by storage and networking engineers to provide certified connectivity between HPE storage arrays and Fibre Channel switches. It supports multimode fibre (MMF) links using an 850 nm laser and is suitable for data center rack-mounted SAN deployments. This module integrates into SAN fabrics supporting HPE MSA and related FC infrastructures.
Compatibility & Use Case
The module is qualified for HPE SAN systems (e.g., HPE MSA 2040) and is backward-compatible with 8 Gb and 4 Gb Fibre Channel speeds when the switch or storage system supports negotiation. Typical use cases include host-to-switch or switch-to-storage array connections within a rack-based SAN environment.
Key Features :
Supports 14.025 Gbps data rate for 16 Gb Fibre Channel links
Short-wave 850 nm laser type for MMF environments
Duplex LC connector interface in SFP+ form-factor
Hot-pluggable SFP+ module for SAN infrastructure upgrades
