J8173A

This HPE J8173A ProCurve transceiver module enables high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber. It is built for network environments that require long-distance data transmission, commonly found in enterprise backbones and data centers.

Often used in fiber optic LANs, it suits IT professionals managing extensive networks who need consistent performance and reliable connectivity over distances up to 10 kilometers.

Key Features

• Long-range transmission capability at 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber
• Operates at a 1310nm wavelength for stable signal quality
• Duplex SC connectors designed to simplify fiber link setup
• Fits XENPAK slots in HPE ProCurve switches for seamless integration
• Supports 10Gbps Ethernet speeds to handle high-bandwidth applications

The module is typically deployed in data centers or campus networks where linking switches across buildings or floors is necessary. Its ability to maintain strong signals over long distances helps reduce the need for costly repeaters or additional hardware.

By using this transceiver, network administrators can extend their fiber infrastructure while maintaining consistent network performance and minimizing downtime.
