Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this module compatible with non-HPE switches?

While the SFP+ module is specifically designed for HPE devices, it is generally compatible with any MSA-compliant equipment that supports 10GBASE-BX transceivers. However, it is recommended to check the compatibility with your specific model.

2. What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber?

Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission and operates over a single light path, providing higher bandwidth. Multi-mode fiber, on the other hand, is used for shorter distances and supports multiple light paths but has lower bandwidth capabilities.

3. Can I use this transceiver with existing cabling?

Yes, if you have existing single-mode fiber cabling, this transceiver module will work seamlessly. Ensure that your cabling meets the specifications for 10GBASE-BX performance.

4. How do I know if the module is functioning correctly?

You can check the status of the module through your network device's management interface. Look for indicators such as link lights or diagnostic monitoring features that confirm proper operation.

5. What support options are available if I encounter issues?

StarTech.com provides free lifetime multilingual technical support for all its products. You can reach out for assistance via phone or online chat for any queries or troubleshooting needs.
