About This Part
The HP 720193-B21 is a crucial network adapter designed for high-performance data center environments, specifically within the HP BladeSystem infrastructure. This module functions as a QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter, facilitating the conversion of a single 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) QSFP+ port into four independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ ports. Its primary role is to provide flexible and scalable connectivity options, allowing for the integration of diverse network equipment and cabling types. The adapter ensures backward compatibility and efficient utilization of existing 10GbE infrastructure while leveraging the higher density and bandwidth capabilities of QSFP+ ports on host systems. This technical bridging capability is essential for optimizing port utilization and managing network expansion without requiring a complete overhaul of existing SFP+ based devices. The design emphasizes low latency and high throughput, critical for demanding enterprise and service provider applications. Deployment of the HP 720193-B21 adapter is typically found within enterprise data centers and cloud service provider facilities that utilize HP BladeSystem chassis. It is installed in network mezzanines or interconnect modules, enabling servers within the blade enclosure to connect to external network switches or storage arrays. This adapter is particularly valuable in scenarios where a high-density 40GbE uplink from a blade switch needs to be distributed to multiple 10GbE devices, or when connecting to legacy 10GbE network infrastructure without sacrificing the aggregate bandwidth of the 40GbE port. Industries benefiting from this solution include telecommunications, financial services, and large-scale IT operations requiring robust and adaptable network fabrics. It effectively solves the challenge of mixed-speed network environments, allowing organizations to maximize their investment in both 10GbE and 40GbE equipment, thereby streamlining network upgrades and reducing capital expenditure on new switching hardware. For businesses seeking to optimize their network infrastructure investments, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished units of the Part Number 720193-B21.
