HPE Q8N53A 1000Base SX LC SFP Transceiver (850 nm)
Overview
The HPE Q8N53A is a gigabit-speed SFP (small form-factor pluggable) optical transceiver designed for multi-mode fibre (MMF) 850 nm operation, with LC duplex connectors. It supports the 1000Base-SX Ethernet standard, making it suitable for enterprise switch uplinks, wiring-closet fibre runs, or aggregation links where fibre is preferred over copper. The module is rated for extended temperatures, making it applicable for harsher environments or non-controlled-room installations. Real-world deployment scenario: you need to plug a fibre link between two wiring closets in a building, run multi-mode fibre across floors, and you want a vendor-matched SFP for your HPE networking gear.
Key Features

1 Gbps data rate (1000Base-SX) via multi-mode fibre at 850 nm wavelength.
-
LC duplex connector interface, making it compatible with standard MMF patch-cords and trunks.?
-
Reach up to approximately 550 metres over suitable multi-mode fibre (depends on fibre type/condition).
-
Extended-temperature range (?Ext Temp? variant) supports deployment in less-controlled environments (-10 ?C to +85 ?C reported by compatible listings)?
-
Plug-and-play SFP module?hot-swappable in supported HPE switches or networking hardware.
