About This Part
The HPE Q2P63A is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optical transceiver designed for robust data communication within Storage Area Networks (SANs). This module, identified by Part Number Q2P63A, facilitates 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel (16GFC) connectivity, providing essential links for enterprise-grade storage infrastructure. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, it utilizes Short Wave (SW) laser technology, making it suitable for multimode fiber deployments. Specifically, it supports reliable data transmission over distances up to 100 meters when paired with OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber optic cables. The SFP+ form factor ensures hot-pluggable installation, enabling flexible and scalable network upgrades without service disruption. This transceiver is engineered to meet stringent performance requirements for high-bandwidth, low-latency SAN environments. The HPE Q2P63A transceiver is primarily deployed in mission-critical data center environments and enterprise storage networks. It is typically installed in Fibre Channel switches, directors, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage array controllers that support SFP+ ports. This module is integral to HPE's comprehensive portfolio of SAN solutions, ensuring seamless compatibility and optimal performance within HPE-branded or compatible Fibre Channel infrastructure. Industries such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and cloud service providers leverage these transceivers to build and maintain high-performance, resilient storage area networks. By enabling 16GFC connectivity, the Q2P63A addresses the escalating demand for faster data access, supporting intensive workloads like virtualization, database transactions, and large-scale data backups. It serves as a crucial component for upgrading existing 8GFC or 4GFC SANs, significantly enhancing data throughput and reducing latency across the storage fabric. For businesses seeking to optimize their IT expenditure without compromising performance, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished units of the HPE Q2P63A transceiver. These cost-effective solutions are specifically tailored for B2B clients, including telecom operators and data centre providers, who require reliable infrastructure components for network expansion or upgrades.
