HPE Aruba Networking 10G SMF Simplex LC BiDi 40km-Upstream 1270/1330 Transceiver

The HPE Aruba Networking 10G SMF Simplex LC BiDi 40km-Upstream 1270/1330 Transceiver is a high-performance optical transceiver designed for use in Aruba networking equipment. This transceiver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over single-mode fiber (SMF) using a bidirectional (BiDi) configuration, enabling efficient data transmission over long distances. The 40km reach makes it suitable for extending network connections across significant geographical spans. The specific wavelengths used are 1270nm for upstream transmission and 1330nm for downstream transmission, optimizing performance within the BiDi framework. It utilizes the LC connector type for ease of installation and compatibility with standard fiber optic cabling.

This transceiver is specifically designed for upstream transmission at 1270nm and downstream at 1330nm, indicating its role in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint network architectures where asymmetrical bandwidth requirements are common. The use of a simplex configuration, with a single fiber strand for both transmit and receive paths, reduces cabling costs and complexity compared to duplex configurations. Its compatibility is ensured with a variety of Aruba networking switches and other compatible equipment. HPE's rigorous testing and quality control processes guarantee reliable and consistent performance. The transceiver's design minimizes power consumption, contributing to energy efficiency within the network infrastructure.
