Description

HP 10Gb SR SFP+ Transceiver – 455885-001 / 456096-001

The HP 10Gb SR SFP+ Transceiver (455885-001 / 456096-001) is a high-quality optical module designed to deliver fast, stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short-range fiber links. Qualified and supported by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, this transceiver is widely used in enterprise data centers where performance, compatibility, and reliability are essential.

High-Speed 10Gb Ethernet for Data Centers

Supporting the 10GBASE-SR standard, this SFP+ module enables high-throughput network connections for bandwidth-intensive applications. It is commonly deployed for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within racks or across data center rows.

Optimized for Multimode Fiber

This transceiver is designed for multimode fiber (MMF) and supports transmission distances of up to 300 meters on OM3 fiber and 400 meters on OM4 fiber. This makes it a cost-effective solution for short-reach 10Gb networking inside data centers and enterprise environments.

LC Connector with Hot-Pluggable SFP+ Design

The LC duplex connector ensures accurate fiber alignment and secure connectivity, while the SFP+ hot-swappable form factor allows installation or replacement without interrupting network operations. This simplifies maintenance and minimizes downtime.

Tested Compatibility with HP & HPE Networking Hardware

As an original HP/HPE optic, the 455885-001 / 456096-001 transceiver is tested for interoperability with supported HP and HPE switches, servers, and network adapters. Using genuine optics helps ensure predictable performance and avoids compatibility issues often associated with third-party modules.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability

Built for continuous operation, this transceiver delivers consistent optical performance and signal stability in demanding enterprise and data center environments.

What is the difference between 455885-001 and 456096-001?

Both part numbers refer to the same functional 10Gb SR SFP+ transceiver. The difference is usually related to manufacturing batch, packaging, or regional labeling, not performance.

 Can this transceiver work with single-mode fiber?

No. This model is designed specifically for multimode fiber (OM3/OM4). For single-mode applications, an LR (Long Reach) transceiver is required.

Is this module hot-swappable?

Yes. The SFP+ form factor allows hot swapping, so it can be installed or removed without powering down the device.

 What devices is it compatible with?

It is compatible with supported HP and HPE switches, servers, and network adapters that accept SFP+ transceivers.

Is this suitable for data centers?

Yes. It is widely used in enterprise data centers for short-range 10Gb Ethernet connectivity.
