HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR Transceiver – 10GBASE-SR, 850 nm Multimode LC, for HPE Server Adapters
HPE 455883-B21 – BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR Transceiver for HPE Server Networking
The HPE 455883-B21 is HPE's BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR transceiver: a 10GBASE-SR optic at 850 nm with a duplex LC connector for multimode fibre, rated up to 300 m on OM3. It belongs to HPE's server-side transceiver range and is listed in the HPE Compute Transceiver and Cable Hardware Matrix for HPE ProLiant networking adapters and HPE BladeSystem/Virtual Connect environments.
It is the part to order when an HPE server SFP+ adapter or c-Class interconnect needs a short-reach 10G fibre link to the network. It is very low power (under 0.8 W) and physically a standard SFP+ module.
What's in the Box
- 1 × HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR transceiver (455883-B21)
- Dust plug on the optical port
- No fibre patch cords included
What It Means in Practice
- Connects an HPE server's 10Gb SFP+ adapter or c-Class interconnect to the network over multimode fibre.
- Up to 300 m on OM3 — server room to core in most buildings.
- Links to any 10GBASE-SR optic in the switch at the other end (Aruba, Cisco and others).
- Under 0.8 W power draw.
What Will Not Work
- Not validated by HPE for use in HPE Aruba Networking switches.
- Will not work on single-mode fibre or with LR optics.
- Not a 1G optic — will not link to 1000BASE-SX.
- Not guaranteed on non-HPE adapters; check the HPE matrix for your NIC.
