HPE QW938B SN3000B 16 Gb 24‑Port Fibre Channel Switch

Overview

The HPE QW938B is a 1 U rack‑mount Fibre Channel switch designed for enterprise storage networks requiring high‑density 16 Gbps connectivity. It provides 24 SFP+ ports for Fibre Channel traffic and is part of the SN3000B family, addressing the needs of data‑centre SAN fabrics, storage array interconnects and replication environments. The module supports full duplex traffic, ISL trunking and fabric zoning, and integrates with HPE’s storage networking infrastructure for unified monitoring and management. Configured for block‑level storage fabrics, it fits into standard data‑centre racks and is suitable for mid‑tier to upper‑tier installations where port consolidation, performance and reliability are key. With a compact 1 RU form factor, the QW938B provides a balance of port density and manageable power/thermal footprint for SAN‑specific switching applications.
