Description

HPE 841716-B21 Bi-Directional Transceiver

Overview

The HPE 841716-B21 is a hot-pluggable QSFP+ transceiver designed for 40Gbps network links over optical fiber. This bi-directional unit utilizes a single fiber strand for both transmit and receive operations, simplifying cabling infrastructure and potentially reducing fiber port requirements in high-density data center or enterprise network deployments. Its form factor ensures easy installation and replacement without powering down the host equipment.

Compatibility

This transceiver is engineered for HPE network switches and modules that support 40GBASE-SR-BiDi QSFP+ optics. It is essential to verify compatibility with your specific HPE switch model or network interface card to ensure proper functionality and performance for your 40Gbps backbone or aggregation links.

Installation Notes

As a hot-pluggable module, the 841716-B21 can be inserted into or removed from a compatible QSFP+ port while the system is operational. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before installation. Proper fiber optic connector cleaning procedures are critical for maintaining signal integrity and achieving the specified link performance.
