HPE R9S29A B-Series 64Gb SFP56 Long Wave 10km Secure Transceiver Module

The HPE R9S29A is a high-performance, secure optical transceiver designed for demanding data center and enterprise networking environments. As an SFP56 module, it provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for upgrading network infrastructure to support 64 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over long distances. This B-series transceiver is specifically engineered to solve the need for reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity between switches, servers, and storage arrays separated by up to 10 kilometers. At its core, the R9S29A utilizes Long Wave (LW) single-mode fiber optic technology to ensure signal integrity and performance over extended links, a critical requirement for campus backbones and inter-building data replication. The module’s 64Gb Fibre Channel and 64 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities make it a versatile component for building scalable, low-latency storage area networks (SANs) and modernizing data center fabrics. Its secure designation indicates enhanced authentication and encryption features for data-in-flight protection. Engineered for seamless integration into HPE B-series and compatible networking equipment, this transceiver’s SFP56 form factor allows for dense port configurations and simplifies network expansion. Management is handled through the host device’s command-line interface or network management software, providing administrators with detailed diagnostic and status information. This ensures straightforward deployment and proactive monitoring within existing IT operational frameworks.
