HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR Transceiver Module

Blade enclosures need their own optics, and the HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR Transceiver Module, part number 455883-B21, is named for that environment. It is a 10GbE short-reach module for multimode fiber, operating at 850 nm with an LC connector and a rated reach of 300 m.

The BladeSystem c-Class label is the compatibility clue. This module is listed for use in that enclosure family, and the title does not describe other platforms. If you want to use it elsewhere, check the host documentation first.

The SFP+ form factor and 10GbE speed match the uplink ports found on interconnect modules. A 300 m reach covers links to a top-of-rack or end-of-row switch in the same data center. Duplex LC multimode cabling is the usual match.

Measure the run and confirm the fiber grade, as the reach differs by grade. Both ends of the link need compatible short-reach modules.

The 455883-B21 is a long-standing HPE option number, so it often appears when keeping an older enclosure running.

The 455883-B21 is offered new and refurbished, each with a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty. No used offer is listed. Send your quantity and enclosure details to request pricing.
