HPE Data Storage C8R24B HPE MSA 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ 4-pack Transceiver

The C8R24B is the industry-standard connectivity solution for the HPE MSA Gen5 and Gen6 storage families, providing a rock-solid 16Gb Fibre Channel foundation for enterprise SAN environments. This 4-pack transceiver kit is engineered for businesses that demand a high-reliability, low-latency link between their storage arrays and server infrastructure. By utilizing short-wave optical technology over multi-mode fiber, the C8R24B delivers the consistent throughput required for high-density virtualization and database hosting, ensuring that your storage network remains a high-performance asset rather than a bottleneck.

• Optimized FC Throughput: The 16Gb/s architecture provides a significant performance boost over legacy 8Gb systems, effectively doubling the data handling capacity of your storage fabric.
• Low-Power Optical Design: Engineered for energy efficiency, these modules maintain high signal integrity while minimizing the thermal footprint within the MSA controller.
• Intelligent Auto-Negotiation: Automatically synchronizes with 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel devices, allowing for seamless integration into diverse or legacy SAN environments.
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM): Provides real-time visibility into critical operating parameters such as laser power and temperature, enabling proactive network maintenance.

• The "Golden Standard" for MSA: As one of the most widely deployed transceivers in the MSA lineup, the C8R24B offers proven stability and global availability for enterprise data centers.
• Packaged for Controller Population: The 4-pack bundle is perfectly sized to fill the high-speed host ports of an MSA controller, simplifying procurement and deployment.
• HPE Certified Interoperability: Rigorous testing with HPE ProLiant servers and StoreFabric switches eliminates the risk of link drops or compatibility errors common with generic modules.
• Long-Term Investment Value: Provides a highly cost-effective path to high-speed storage networking, backed by HPE’s comprehensive hardware support and warranty.
