HPE J8436 X131 10G X2 SC SR Transceiver Module
Overview
The HPE J8436 is a high-performance, hot-pluggable X2 transceiver module designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is engineered for integration within enterprise data centers, campus wiring closets, and service provider transport applications that require high-speed, short-range connections over multi-mode fiber infrastructure. This module solves the critical need for upgrading network backbones and connecting high-density switches and routers with a standardized, versatile optical interface. At its core, the transceiver operates over multi-mode fiber at an 850nm wavelength, supporting data transfer rates of 10 Gbps. This allows for connections up to 300 meters, making it an ideal solution for linking devices within a building or across a campus. Its adherence to the X2 Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR standards ensures broad compatibility with a variety of networking equipment, not just HPE ProCurve hardware. Deployment is straightforward due to its X2 form factor, which features a 70-pin electrical interface for easy installation into compatible switches and routers. Management and monitoring are handled via an MDIO 2-wire interface, allowing network administrators to access diagnostic information. The module’s robust design provides a dependable method for scaling network capacity and performance without requiring a complete overhaul of the existing fiber optic cabling.
