HPE JC860A – 10-G SFP+ LR Transceiver Module
Overview
The HPE JC860A is a hot-swappable 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceiver engineered for long-haul single-mode fiber (SMF) links in enterprise or data-center environments. It supports the IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR specification operating at approximately 1310 nm wavelength and reaches up to roughly 10 km over SMF. This module fits standard SFP+ cages in HPE switches and routers and uses duplex LC connectors. It’s ideal for connecting aggregation switches, linking buildings or floors, or bridging data-halls where multimode fiber isn’t viable. Because you’ve deployed fiber trunks and managed rack-to-rack connections, you’ll appreciate that this module offers full 10 Gbps throughput over 10 km without needing regeneration or conversion.
Key Features
-
10 Gbps data rate over SMF supports high-bandwidth uplinks across campus or between sites.
-
Up to ~10 km reach enables links beyond typical rack or floor spans—suitable for building-to-building fiber.
-
Wavelength around 1310 nm and duplex LC connector align with standard long-reach SMF optics.
-
Hot-plug SFP+ form-factor means you can replace without shutting down the switch—practical for live networks.
-
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support gives real-time monitoring of optical parameters (such as TX/RX power, temperature) in many implementations.
