Specifications

  • Part Number: 845970-B21
  • Brand: HPE
  • Form Factor: QSFP28 pluggable adapter, 24-pin, passive, no power/DOM electronics of its own
  • Optic Class: QSA28 form-factor converter — QSFP28 port to SFP28 module cage
  • Speed: 25GbE (HPE-documented). SFP28 module transmits on lane 1 only at 25Gbps; the other 3 lanes of the QSFP28 connector are not connected. Third-
  • Wavelength: 850nm (SR/MMF) / 1310nm (LR/SMF) / 1550nm (ER/SMF) / coded by class
  • Connector: LC duplex (most) / MPO (parallel-fiber QSFP) / RJ45 (BASE-T variants 1G)

Compatibility

HPE transceivers are firmware-keyed — third-party SFPs may work but typically trigger 'unsupported transceiver' warnings. For production use, deploy vendor-original.

  • HPE 40G/100G NICs (Mellanox ConnectX HPE-branded): ProLiant Gen10/Gen10 Plus/Gen11 with QSFP+/QSFP28 ports
  • HPE/Aruba 40G/100G switches: Aruba CX 8325/8400/10000 / FlexFabric 5945/12900 spine fabrics

Use Cases

Server NIC ports + ToR switch uplinks + SAN HBA ports. SR/MMF for in-rack and short-rack connections (cheaper). LR/SMF for cross-datacenter / cross-MDF runs. DAC copper for in-rack direct attach (lowest latency, lowest cost, no transceiver pair needed). AOC for medium-range (5-30m) where DAC max length insufficient.
