HPE X151 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 MMF XCVR

The HPE X151 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 MMF XCVR is a high-performance, short-reach transceiver designed for modern data centers and enterprise networks. This 100GBASE-SR4 optic module leverages the QSFP28 form factor and a multi-mode fiber (MMF) MPO/MTP connector to deliver compact, reliable, and scalable 100 Gbps Ethernet connectivity. Ideal for top-of-rack to spine deployments, it combines robust build quality with easy deployment, enabling you to maximize throughput while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Whether you’re upgrading a leaf-and-spine fabric or refreshing an aging 40G/10G backbone, the X151 SR4 MMF XCVR helps you achieve higher bandwidth with fewer connectors and tighter cable management.

  • High-density 100GBASE-SR4 over MMF: This transceiver supports 100 Gbps of aggregate data throughput using four parallel 25 Gbps lanes within a single QSFP28 package. It’s built for short-range links and is optimized for multi-mode fiber, delivering reliable performance in data centers that demand low latency and high throughput.
  • MPO/MTP Connector for Fast, Scalable Cabling: The module uses an MPO/MTP 12-fiber optical connector to support four 25 Gbps lanes with multi-fiber cabling. This design simplifies cable management in dense racks, reduces patch panel clutter, and enables scalable uplinks across the data center fabric.
  • Hot-Plug Ready and Board-Level Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration with HPE switches and servers, the X151 SR4 MMF XCVR is designed for hot-swapping in compatible chassis. This minimizes network downtime during maintenance windows and upgrades while preserving uptime for critical applications.
  • Optimized for Reliability and Longevity: Built to withstand the rigors of data-center environments, this transceiver features a robust enclosure and high-quality optical components, delivering consistent performance under typical operating conditions. It’s a dependable choice for enterprise networks, colocation facilities, and large-scale data centers seeking durable, long-lasting 100G connectivity.
  • Energy-Efficient Performance with Simple Deployment: The SR4 MMF XCVR combines efficient optics with straightforward installation, helping you lower power consumption and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while accelerating time-to-network readiness. It’s an excellent fit for deployments that require rapid scaling and reliable service delivery.

How to Install HPE X151 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 MMF XCVR

  • Prepare the equipment: Verify that your switch or router supports 100GBASE-SR4 and has an available QSFP28 slot. Ensure you have the correct MMF MPO/MTP fiber cables of appropriate length for your link.
  • Power considerations: If your hardware supports hot-swapping, you may install the transceiver with the power on after verifying safety guidelines; otherwise, power down the equipment following your data-center protocols before installation.
  • Insert the module: Carefully align the X151 SR4 MMF XCVR with the QSFP28 slot in the switch or server, then firmly but gently seat the module until it clicks and is fully seated. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the connector or slot.
  • Connect the fiber: Attach an MPO/MTP MMF fiber cable to the module’s MPO/MTP connector, routing the fiber to the corresponding receiver or patch panel. Ensure the fiber is clean and properly terminated to maintain signal integrity.
  • Verify and test: Power on the device (if required) and check the link status via the switch’s management interface. Verify that the 100G link is up and perform basic throughput tests to confirm the expected performance. If issues arise, re-seat the module, check fiber polarity, and verify compatibility with the partner device.
