HPE S6B51A 400GbE QSFP-DD VR4 50M XCVR
Overview
The HPE S6B51A is a 400GbE QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) transceiver module designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth data center interconnects. It utilizes VR4 optics to achieve 400 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over 50 meters of OM4 multimode fiber. This transceiver is critical for high-density server aggregation and switch-to-switch links where maximum throughput is required within a limited distance.
Compatibility
This transceiver is designed for use with HPE network equipment that supports QSFP-DD modules. It is compatible with HPE ProLiant DL series servers, Aruba CX series switches, and other HPE infrastructure requiring 400GbE connectivity. Always verify compatibility with your specific HPE hardware model and firmware version through HPE's compatibility matrix.
Installation Notes
The HPE S6B51A requires OM4 multimode fiber optic cabling for optimal performance up to 50 meters. Ensure the fiber connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation or damage. The module draws power from the host device and does not require a separate power supply. Insertion and removal should be performed with the host device powered off or in a safe mode to prevent electrical damage.
