C8R24B HPE MSA 16Gb SW FC SFP 4pk XCVR Enterprise Data Storage

Model SKU: C8R24B

The HPE MSA C8R24B is a critical connectivity component designed specifically for the HPE MSA Storage family. This 4-pack of Short Wave (SW) Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceivers allows for high-speed, 16Gb Fibre Channel communication between your MSA array and the SAN fabric or host servers. It is the gold standard for ensuring signal integrity and maximum throughput in high-performance storage environments.

• Optimized for MSA Performance: Specifically engineered and tested for the HPE MSA 2060, 2062, and older 2050/2052 series to ensure 100% compatibility and firmware stability.

• Cost-Effective 4-Pack: Bundled as a set of four to match the port density of a single MSA controller, providing a convenient and more economical solution than purchasing individual units.

• Hot-Swappable Efficiency: These transceivers can be installed or replaced without powering down the storage system, ensuring zero downtime for your critical data services.

• Reliable Data Integrity: Designed for Short Wave (SW) optical transmission, offering low-latency and high-reliability data paths over multi-mode fiber cabling.

• Plug-and-Play Integration: No complex configuration is required; the MSA controllers instantly recognize these authentic HPE modules, enabling immediate link establishment.

• Full-Duplex 16Gb Bandwidth: Each transceiver supports high-speed bi-directional data flow, effectively doubling the bandwidth compared to older 8Gb FC standards to eliminate storage bottlenecks.

• Low Latency: As an optical interconnect, it provides the ultra-low latency required for flash-accelerated storage arrays and high-transaction database workloads.

• Thermal Resilience: Built to operate within the high-density environment of modern rackmount enclosures, maintaining signal stability even under peak load temperatures.

• Industry Compliance: Fully compliant with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards and Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH) requirements, ensuring seamless interoperability with HPE StoreFabric switches.
