Why Choose This Product?

• 10GbE performance: Provides 10-Gigabit optical connectivity for supported HPE BladeSystem infrastructure, giving buyers a substantial bandwidth class for enterprise networking.
• Purpose-built SR optics: The 10GBASE-SR specification clearly targets short-range multimode-fiber deployments, making link planning more predictable.
• 300 m reach: Gives network architects a defined maximum distance for qualifying multimode-fiber links.
• Standard LC interface: Simplifies deployment where the data-center fiber plant already uses compatible LC connections.
• Efficient power profile: At 0.6 W typical and 0.8 W maximum, the published power characteristics help with power-budget and thermal planning.
• Compact high-density design: The SFP+ form factor supports dense networking configurations where rack and enclosure space is constrained.
• OEM procurement confidence: 455883-B21 is an identifiable HPE option number, making sourcing and replacement easier than relying on generic SFP+ terminology.
• Clear SR/LR selection: Buyers can distinguish the 300 m SR option from HPE's 455886-B21 LR transceiver when selecting optics according to link distance.
