Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP transceiver used for?
A QSFP transceiver is used for high-speed optical data transmission in enterprise networking. The 4x16 configuration enables simultaneous multi-lane communication, making it essential for data center switches, blade systems, and backbone network infrastructure.
Is a remanufactured QSFP transceiver reliable?
Yes. HPE remanufactured components undergo rigorous testing and certification to meet original specifications. The K2Q87AR reman transceiver provides the same performance and reliability as new equipment at significantly lower cost, backed by HPE quality standards.
What does short-wavelength (SW) mean for fiber optic transceivers?
Short-wavelength technology uses 850nm wavelength light for shorter-distance optical transmission, typically up to 300 meters. This makes SW transceivers ideal for in-building data center connectivity and local area networks where cost-effectiveness is prioritized over long-distance reach.
Can I use this HPE transceiver in my existing network infrastructure?
The HPE B-series 4x16 SW QSFP transceiver is compatible with HPE B-series switches and blade systems. Verify your equipment's transceiver slot specifications and fiber optic cabling before installation to ensure seamless integration.
