About This Part
The HP Part Number 468506-001 represents a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module, a fundamental component in modern optical networking infrastructure. This hot-pluggable module is engineered to facilitate high-speed data communication by converting electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fibre optic cables, and vice-versa. As an SFP, it typically supports data rates up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel applications. Common variants of this SFP family operate across various wavelengths, such as 850nm for multimode fibre applications over shorter distances, or 1310nm for singlemode fibre over intermediate distances, often utilizing duplex LC connectors. Its compact design and low power consumption are critical for high-density network deployments, ensuring efficient data throughput within switches, routers, and other network devices manufactured by HP and compatible vendors. These SFP transceivers, including the HP 468506-001, are extensively deployed in a wide array of networking environments. They are commonly installed in Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, and Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) within data centres, enterprise campus networks, and storage area networks (SANs. Telecom operators and internet service providers leverage such modules to establish robust fibre optic backbones and connect various network segments, ensuring reliable and high-performance data transmission. In corporate settings, they facilitate high-speed uplinks between distribution and core layers, or extend network connectivity to remote buildings. The primary problem these transceivers solve is overcoming the distance and bandwidth limitations inherent in traditional copper cabling, enabling fibre optic links that can span kilometres while maintaining Gigabit speeds. They serve as crucial components for upgrading existing network infrastructure from slower speeds or copper-only deployments to fibre-based, high-capacity solutions, offering a cost-effective path to enhanced network performance and scalability.
