 Why Choose This Product?

• HPE-specific connectivity solution - The exact 720193-B21 option number provides procurement confidence when maintaining supported HPE BladeSystem networking infrastructure.
• Extends QSFP+ port flexibility - Buyers can use supported SFP/SFP+ media through compatible QSFP+ ports instead of being restricted to native QSFP+ media. 
• Useful for existing SFP+ infrastructure - Organizations can integrate supported SFP+ optics and cables into appropriate HPE QSFP+ environments, helping protect existing connectivity investments.
• Clear deployment requirement - HPE explicitly states that one adapter is required for each QSFP+ port when using the documented SFP/SFP+ media, simplifying quantity planning. 
• Supports multiple media choices - Compatibility with documented SFP+ transceivers, SFP transceivers and SFP+ cables gives network architects more deployment options. 
• Simplifies replacement sourcing - The dedicated HPE SKU reduces ambiguity during spare-part procurement, maintenance and infrastructure refresh projects.
• Designed for BladeSystem networking - Its position in the HPE BladeSystem c-Class accessory family makes it relevant for organizations standardizing their server connectivity components on HPE-supported options.
• Avoids incorrect adapter assumptions - Using the documented HPE part number makes it easier to validate the complete QSFP+, transceiver and cable combination before deployment.
