About This Part
The Part Number QK725A, an HP QK725A SFP+ transceiver, is a high-performance optical module designed for robust and high-speed data communication within demanding network environments. Adhering to the SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) standard, this hot-pluggable module facilitates 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel (16GFC) connectivity, a crucial protocol for Storage Area Networks (SANs) and high-performance computing. It operates at a long wavelength of 1310nm, supporting optical links over single-mode fiber for distances up to 10 kilometers. This specific module, often identified by its internal Avago/Broadcom designation AFCT-57F5ATPZ-H1, features a long latch mechanism for secure and reliable installation. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals and vice-versa, enabling efficient data transmission across extended reaches. This HP SFP+ transceiver is predominantly deployed in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure where high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity is paramount. It is essential for interconnecting Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage arrays, forming the backbone of modern SANs. Telecom operators and large enterprises leverage the QK725A to expand or upgrade their existing 8GFC or 4GFC networks to 16GFC, significantly enhancing data throughput and reducing bottlenecks. Its 10km reach makes it suitable for campus networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), or connecting geographically dispersed data center facilities, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for long-distance, high-speed data transport.
