HPE R0Z30A Networking QSFP+ transceiver module 100GbE

Detailed Specifications

The HPE R0Z30A is a high-performance, hot-pluggable QSFP28 transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications within demanding data center and enterprise network environments. It provides reliable, high-speed connectivity over single-mode fiber, specifically addressing the need for robust interconnects between switches, routers, and servers over extended distances. This module is engineered to solve the challenge of scaling network bandwidth to 100Gbps while maintaining operational efficiency and leveraging existing fiber infrastructure. At its core, the R0Z30A utilizes Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology, which transmits data over four separate wavelengths (1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm, and 1331nm) on a standard pair of single-mode fibers. This approach enables a significant increase in data throughput without requiring additional fiber strands. The transceiver supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers, making it an ideal solution for medium-reach data center interconnects and campus backbone links that require more range than standard short-reach optics. Engineered for seamless integration into the HPE Aruba networking ecosystem, this module adheres to the QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) for broad compatibility. Its plug-in module form factor allows for easy installation and upgrades in compatible network devices. Management is streamlined through Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which provides real-time access to critical operating parameters like optical power and temperature, enabling proactive network maintenance and troubleshooting.
