Product Description

The HPE 10GbE SFP+ LR Transceiver (QK727A) is a small form-factor pluggable module designed to provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over long distances. It is primarily used in enterprise and data center environments where extending communication beyond typical short-range limits is necessary.

This transceiver supports single-mode fiber connections, enabling transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers, which is suitable for linking switches, routers, and other network devices across large campus or metropolitan networks.

Network engineers and IT professionals typically deploy this module to enhance the networking capabilities of HPE systems requiring reliable long-reach 10GbE links.

Key Features
  • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds using the SFP+ interface
  • Operates over single-mode fiber for distances up to 10 km
  • Complies with industry-standard SFP+ MSA specifications
  • Designed specifically for HPE networking equipment compatibility
  • Supports LR (long reach) optical standard

This transceiver plays a critical role in expanding network topology reach without compromising on speed or compatibility. By enabling longer distance connections, it assists in maintaining efficient and structured network architectures in demanding IT environments.


Use Cases

This transceiver is typically utilized in large enterprise networks, data centers, and campus environments where 10GbE connections need to span significant distances. It is suited for environments requiring fiber optic connectivity that exceeds short-range limits.

How It's Used:
  • Connecting data center switches across different rooms or buildings using single-mode fiber
  • Extending 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in campus networks up to 10 km
  • Replacing or upgrading existing SFP+ modules for longer reach requirements
  • Facilitating high-speed uplinks between core and distribution network layers
  • Integrating with HPE networking equipment to maintain system compatibility

The QK727A transceiver supports the infrastructure needs of networks demanding extended reach without impact on bandwidth. Its role is to provide a standardized optical interface that integrates seamlessly into HPE environments.


FAQ's

  • What type of fiber does the QK727A transceiver use?

    The QK727A transceiver is designed for single-mode fiber, which supports longer distance transmissions compared to multi-mode fiber.

  • What is the maximum transmission distance of this transceiver?

    This module supports a maximum reach of up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, suitable for long-range 10GbE links.

  • Is the QK727A compatible with non-HPE equipment?

    This transceiver is intended for use with HPE networking devices and conforms to SFP+ MSA standards, but compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

  • What interface does this transceiver use?

    The QK727A uses the SFP+ interface, which is a widely accepted standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical modules.

  • Can the QK727A be used for short-distance links?

    While it can operate over shorter distances, this transceiver is optimized for long-range (LR) applications typically around 10 kilometers.

  • Does the QK727A support 1GbE connections?

    No, the QK727A is designed specifically for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and does not support 1GbE operation.
