HP MSA 2040 10GB SW Iscsi SFP 721000-001/721748-001

Description

HP MSA 2040 10Gb SW iSCSI SFP – 721000-001 / 721748-001

The HP MSA 2040 10Gb SW iSCSI SFP (721000-001 / 721748-001) is an enterprise-grade 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI optical transceiver designed specifically for HPE MSA 2040 storage arrays. Developed and certified by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, this module delivers stable, low-latency connectivity for storage traffic in professional data center environments.

Purpose-Built for HPE MSA 2040 iSCSI Storage

This SFP module is engineered to support 10Gb iSCSI connectivity on HPE MSA 2040 controllers. It enables high-throughput block storage access over IP networks, making it suitable for virtualization platforms, databases, and enterprise backup solutions.

High-Speed 10Gb iSCSI Performance

By supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this transceiver significantly improves bandwidth and reduces latency compared to 1Gb iSCSI connections. This helps storage systems keep pace with modern workloads that demand fast and consistent data access.

Short-Wavelength Multimode Fiber Support

The module operates as a short-wavelength (SW) optical transceiver and is designed for multimode fiber (MMF). It supports typical data center distances, including up to approximately 300 meters on OM3 and 400 meters on OM4, making it ideal for rack-level and row-level storage connectivity.

LC Connector and Hot-Swappable Design

Equipped with an LC duplex connector, the transceiver ensures precise optical alignment and secure fiber connections. The hot-swappable SFP form factor allows installation or replacement without powering down the storage system, reducing maintenance downtime.

Tested Compatibility and Reliability

As a genuine HPE component, this SFP module is tested for firmware compatibility and stable operation with supported HPE MSA 2040 systems. Using original HPE optics helps ensure predictable performance and full vendor support in enterprise storage environments.
