HPE R9Q43A Aruba 1G SFP LC SX 500M MMF TAA Transceiver

The HPE R9Q43A is a TAA compliant, hot-swappable SFP optical transceiver designed to provide reliable, high-speed network connectivity. Engineered for use within HPE Aruba networking equipment, it addresses the critical need for standards-based 1 Gigabit Ethernet links in enterprise, campus, and government environments that mandate Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance for procurement. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable. This module is specifically built for short-to-medium range deployments. It utilizes the 1000Base-SX standard, operating over multi-mode fiber optic cabling to achieve dependable connections. The use of a standard duplex LC connector ensures broad compatibility with existing fiber infrastructures, supporting link distances up to 500 meters. This capability makes the transceiver an ideal solution for interconnecting switches, routers, and servers within a single building or across a small campus. Installation and deployment are streamlined due to its Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) design. As a hot-swappable component, the R9Q43A can be inserted or removed from a compatible network device without needing to power down the system. This feature significantly simplifies network maintenance, upgrades, and expansion, minimizing downtime and reducing operational overhead for IT staff.
