Detailed Specifications
HPE E7Y10A 16Gb Fibre Channel Short-Wave SFP+ Transceiver
Overview
The HPE E7Y10A is a 16 Gb/s short-wave (SW) SFP+ transceiver designed for SAN and storage network engineers deploying fibre channel links in data-centre or storage-array environments. It supports 16 Gb Fibre Channel sessions over multi-mode fibre (MMF) using an 850 nm wavelength and duplex LC connector, enabling upgrades from 8 Gb to 16 Gb FC with minimal infrastructure change. It is suited to data-centre top-of-rack SAN switching, storage-array interconnects or compute-to-storage fabric linking in campus or enterprise sites. The module integrates into HPE storage and networking platforms and supports digital optical monitoring (DOM) for real-time diagnostics of optical link health.
