Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HPE C8R24B available new? +
Yes. This page lists the new condition currently available from BuyRouterSwitch. Availability can change, especially for bulk orders.
Can I request bulk pricing for C8R24B? +
Yes. Businesses, resellers, MSPs, government buyers and procurement teams can request custom quantity pricing.
Does BuyRouterSwitch ship C8R24B internationally? +
BuyRouterSwitch ships enterprise IT hardware to customers in the United States and international markets, subject to destination and product restrictions.
What is the primary function of the HPE C8R24B SFP+ transceiver pack? +
The C8R24B is a 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver designed specifically for high-speed data connectivity in HPE MSA storage environments. It facilitates reliable, high-bandwidth communication between your storage arrays and Fibre Channel switches, ensuring optimal throughput for mission-critical applications that require consistent, low-latency performance in a storage area network.
How many transceivers are included in the C8R24B package? +
The C8R24B SKU is a convenient 4-pack bundle containing four identical 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ transceivers. This multi-pack configuration is ideal for administrators looking to populate multiple host ports on a controller or interconnect multiple switches, providing a cost-effective way to scale your storage fabric infrastructure simultaneously.
What is the maximum data rate supported by these SFP+ modules? +
These transceivers support 16Gb Fibre Channel speeds, which are designed to handle intensive data workloads typical of modern enterprise storage arrays. They are engineered to provide the necessary bandwidth for heavy read/write operations, effectively reducing bottlenecks in your storage network while maintaining compatibility with legacy Fibre Channel environments.
Are the C8R24B transceivers compatible with all HPE MSA storage systems? +
These modules are specifically designed for HPE MSA storage systems that utilize 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. Because HPE storage gear requires specific validated hardware for optimal reliability, it is essential to verify that your specific MSA model supports 16Gb SFP+ modules before deployment to ensure full interoperability and system stability within your data center architecture.
What type of cabling should I use with the HPE C8R24B? +
As short-wave transceivers, these modules utilize multi-mode optical fiber cabling. They are optimized for short-reach distances typically found within a single rack or between adjacent racks in a data center environment. Using high-quality OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fiber patch cables will ensure that you maintain signal integrity and meet the performance requirements of your 16Gb Fibre Channel fabric.
How does this transceiver handle management and link status monitoring? +
The C8R24B modules support standard digital diagnostic monitoring features common in Fibre Channel SFP+ transceivers. This allows your HPE storage array and connected switches to monitor real-time parameters such as optical output power, input power, and temperature. Such diagnostics are invaluable for proactively identifying potential link degradation before it results in connectivity issues.
What are the common deployment scenarios for 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers? +
These transceivers are most commonly deployed in enterprise server rooms to connect MSA storage arrays directly to Fibre Channel SAN switches. This setup creates a high-performance backbone for block-level storage access, making them perfect for environments running database applications, virtualization platforms, or any infrastructure that demands high-speed, persistent storage connectivity across the fabric.
Are these C8R24B modules hot-swappable in HPE storage controllers? +
Yes, these SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable, allowing you to insert or replace them without powering down the host storage controller or the Fibre Channel switch. This functionality is essential for minimizing maintenance windows and ensuring high availability, as you can replace a failed module or add capacity to your storage array while the system continues to serve production data.
Does BuyRouterSwitch.com offer bulk quotes for large-scale enterprise deployments? +
Absolutely. For organizations planning a significant infrastructure upgrade, we specialize in providing competitive bulk quotes tailored to your project requirements.
