About the HPE C8R25A - HPE MSA 10Gb Short Range iSCSI SFP+ 4-pack Transceiver
SFP+ form factor with LC Duplex connectors delivers compact, high-density port connectivity for enterprise storage switches and iSCSI controller host interfaces requiring minimal rack footprint and cable management overhead. The HPE C8R25A is a genuine HPE MSA 10Gb Short Range iSCSI SFP+ 4-pack Transceiver designed specifically for storage network architects and IT procurement teams deploying high-speed iSCSI infrastructure in data center environments.
This quad-transceiver module operates at 10 Gbps over multimode fiber using 850 nm VCSEL laser technology, delivering 300 m maximum range on OM3 fiber and 400 m on OM4 fiber. HPE firmware coding ensures platform compatibility with MSA 1040, 2040, 1050, and 2050 iSCSI controller host ports, while Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capability enables real-time signal diagnostics. The SFF-8431 SFP+ electrical interface and RoHS compliance support modern data center standards. All four transceivers ship as a unified pack, reducing procurement complexity and ensuring matched performance across storage array ports.
Platform Compatibility & Deployment Scenarios
- HPE MSA 1040 and 2040 iSCSI array controllers requiring short-range multimode fiber interconnects
- HPE MSA 1050 and 2050 next-generation iSCSI controller host port upgrades
- Data center storage networks spanning up to 300–400 meters of OM3/OM4 multimode fiber backbone
- High-availability storage clusters demanding DOM-enabled optical transceiver diagnostics and monitoring
- Enterprise SAN consolidation projects requiring RoHS-compliant, firmware-coded HPE transceiver solutions
