HP AJ716B 8G Fibre Channel Transceiver

The HP AJ716B is an 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module built for short-range connections over multimode fibre. It operates at an 850nm wavelength and supports link distances up to 150m. The module includes Digital Optical Monitoring and uses a standard LC duplex connector. It suits administrators expanding or maintaining HP storage area networks.

Silver LC Duplex Module with DOM

The silver-coloured housing identifies the module visually in a crowded chassis. Its LC duplex interface connects directly to patch cables without adapters. Digital Optical Monitoring allows real-time tracking of optical power, temperature and voltage thresholds. This visibility helps teams detect link degradation before a failure affects production traffic.

Compact Hot-Pluggable Form Factor

The transceiver measures 13.72 x 11.94 x .76 millimetres, fitting standard SFP+ cages in compatible HP switches and directors. Hot-pluggable insertion means links can be added or replaced without powering down the chassis. The multimode fibre design limits reach to 150m, so it is not suited for campus or metro spans requiring single-mode optics.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the HP AJ716B transceiver need over time?

The module is a passive optical component with no moving parts; it typically runs until physical damage or a link budget change requires a swap.

What limit appears first when the AJ716B runs continuously at 8 Gbps?

The 150 m reach on multimode fibre sets the distance ceiling; signal loss beyond that distance degrades the link before any thermal throttle.

How much heat or power does the silver SFP+ module add in all-day operation?

The compact 13.72 x 11.94 x .76 mm form factor draws only the standard SFP+ power budget, so added heat inside the chassis is minimal.
