The HPE X142 40G QSFP+ LC LR4 SM Transceiver, part number JH232A, is a switch module designed for data center and enterprise network environments requiring 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber. This transceiver facilitates long-reach data transmission by converting electrical signals into optical signals using LC connectors and LR4 optics. It is suitable for organizations extending network links between buildings, across campuses, or within large data centers where distances exceed the capabilities of multi-mode fiber. The module addresses the need for high-bandwidth, reliable connections over single-mode infrastructure, supporting critical applications and inter-switch links. It integrates into compatible HP networking equipment, providing a standardized solution for 40GbE deployments.
This transceiver is designed for use with single-mode (SM) fiber optic cables. It utilizes LR4 optics, which are optimized for single-mode transmission.
The transceiver uses LC connectors. These are a common type of small form-factor fiber optic connector.
This transceiver is suitable for establishing 40 Gigabit Ethernet links over longer distances, typically found in campus backbones, data center interconnects, or between network aggregation points where single-mode fiber is deployed.
The HPE X142 40G QSFP+ LC LR4 SM Transceiver supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40G).
