HPE 813874-B21 10GBASE-T SFP+ Transceiver
Overview
The HPE 813874-B21 is a 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver module designed to provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper twisted-pair cabling. This module is essential for network infrastructure requiring high-speed data transfer between switches, servers, or other network devices where copper cabling is already deployed or preferred. It allows you to leverage existing Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for 10GbE speeds, avoiding the need for costly fiber optic cable runs in many scenarios. The 813874-B21 fits into SFP+ ports on compatible network hardware, effectively converting the SFP+ interface to an RJ45 10GBASE-T connection.
Compatibility
This HPE SFP+ transceiver is designed for use with network devices featuring SFP+ ports that support 10GBASE-T modules. It is compatible with HPE ProLiant servers, HPE FlexFabric switches, and other HPE networking equipment that accepts SFP+ transceivers. Always verify compatibility with your specific network hardware model and firmware version before deployment. It is intended for use in enterprise data center and campus network environments.
Installation Notes
Install the 813874-B21 transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on your network device. Ensure the device is powered off or follow the manufacturer's hot-plugging guidelines. Gently push the module into the slot until it clicks into place. Connect a Cat6a or Cat7 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the transceiver. For optimal performance and to achieve 10Gbps speeds, ensure your cabling meets the Cat6a or Cat7 specifications and is within the supported distance limits (typically up to 30 meters for 10GBASE-T over Cat6a/Cat7).
