FAQ's

  • What type of ports does the 845969-001 adapter connect?

    The adapter connects a 100GbE QSFP28 port to a 25GbE SFP28 port, enabling interconnection between these two form factors.

  • Is this adapter compatible with non-HPE devices?

    It is designed specifically for HPE networking equipment compatibility, and use with other manufacturers' devices is not guaranteed.

  • Can the adapter convert speeds other than 100GbE and 25GbE?

    No, it specifically supports 100Gigabit Ethernet on the QSFP28 side and 25Gigabit Ethernet on the SFP28 side only.

  • Does the adapter require additional configuration after installation?

    The adapter functions as a passive hardware converter and does not require separate configuration, but device settings may need to be verified.

  • How is the adapter physically installed?

    It is inserted directly into the QSFP28 port on one end and the SFP28 module or port on the other, facilitating physical connection without cabling changes.

  • What environments typically use this adapter?

    This adapter is commonly used in enterprise data centers and campus networks to facilitate connectivity between different Ethernet speeds within HPE equipment setups.
