HPE S3N85A — 32Gb SFP28 Short Wave Optical Transceiver
32Gb Fibre ChannelSFP28Short WaveLow Profile Pull Tab
The HPE S3N85A is a 32Gb short-wave optical transceiver designed for compatible HPE Fibre Channel storage connectivity environments. Its compact SFP28 form factor provides an optical connection for supported high-speed storage networking hardware. The low-profile pull-tab design facilitates handling in installations where transceiver access may be restricted by closely positioned ports and surrounding equipment. Supplied as a single-module pack, the S3N85A is intended for installations, expansion projects and replacement requirements where this exact HPE transceiver is specified.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a 32Gb Fibre Channel short-wave optical transceiver, not a general-purpose 25Gb Ethernet SFP28 module. Matching the physical SFP28 form factor alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm that the HPE host bus adapter, Fibre Channel switch or storage system explicitly supports part number S3N85A. The connected optical equipment and fibre cabling must also meet the requirements of the intended Fibre Channel link. Do not assume support for long-wave optics, single-mode installations or arbitrary third-party SFP28 equipment. Fibre optic cables are not identified as included in this single-transceiver package.
Best For
✓ Compatible HPE Fibre Channel storage networks
✓ 32Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure expansion
✓ Supported enterprise storage connectivity
✓ Short-wave optical Fibre Channel links
✓ Replacement of the same HPE transceiver part
✓ Dense installations requiring low-profile handling
Key Features
32Gb Fibre Channel connectivity
Designed for 32Gb Fibre Channel optical connections in supported HPE storage networking environments. It provides the transceiver component required to establish a compatible optical link between Fibre Channel devices.
Compact SFP28 form factor
The SFP28 module format is intended for supported high-density equipment interfaces. Its compact construction helps integrate optical connectivity into compatible storage adapters and other Fibre Channel hardware without a separately powered external converter.
Short-wave optical design
The short-wave configuration is intended for appropriately specified optical Fibre Channel connections. Actual supported cable type and transmission distance must be checked against the complete system and optical-link requirements rather than assumed from the transceiver form factor.
Low-profile pull-tab design
The manufacturer-specified low-profile pull tab provides an accessible handling feature for module removal, particularly in equipment where neighbouring connections make direct access to the transceiver body more difficult.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The critical detail when ordering the HPE S3N85A is the combination of 32Gb Fibre Channel, short-wave optics and exact host compatibility. SFP28 is a form-factor description and is not enough to confirm that a module will work with a particular device. In particular, this product should not be confused with Ethernet SFP28 modules, even if they look physically similar. The S3N85A appears in HPE enterprise storage reference configurations, making it relevant to deployments where this exact option is specified. Before ordering, confirm the HPE system part-number compatibility, the required optical connection at both ends and the fibre cable specification. The low-profile pull tab is useful in dense installations, and the single-pack configuration is appropriate when purchasing individual replacement or expansion modules. Avoid selecting optical transceivers based only on their advertised data rate or physical connector type.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
Your compatible HPE Fibre Channel equipment explicitly requires the S3N85A 32Gb SFP28 short-wave transceiver and you need a single module with a low-profile pull tab.
Skip it if
You need a 25Gb Ethernet transceiver, long-wave optical module, guaranteed compatibility with an unspecified SFP28 port or a complete optical cable assembly.
Also consider
The optical transceiver specified in your HPE hardware compatibility documentation if it differs from S3N85A, together with the appropriate fibre cabling for your intended link.
