HPE 656435-001 B-Series 16GB SFP+ Short Wave Transceiver Module

The HPE 656435-001 is a high-speed, hot-pluggable SFP+ optical transceiver module designed for enterprise Storage Area Networks (SANs). As a core component for HPE's B-series and StoreFabric switching platforms, its primary function is to provide reliable 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. This module is engineered for data-intensive environments such as data centers and high-performance computing clusters that require high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between servers and storage arrays. This transceiver utilizes short-wave 850nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology to transmit data over multi-mode fiber optic cables. This enables robust data transfer at a rate of 14.025 Gbps, ensuring efficient performance for mission-critical applications. The module's design adheres to stringent industry standards, offering trusted compatibility and reliability within HPE storage and networking ecosystems. Engineered for seamless integration, the 656435-001 module fits into any standard SFP+ port on compatible HPE B-series director blades and switches. Its small form-factor pluggable plus design allows for easy installation and scalability, enabling network administrators to quickly expand or upgrade their SAN fabric without significant downtime. Management is handled through the connected switch's operating system, providing diagnostic information on optical signal strength and module status.
