Product identity

The HP AJ718A is an 8 Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver module designed for optical network links. It uses a single LC port and supports the HCRP and SPP protocols. The unit ships in bulk packaging and is listed as compatible with HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 storage systems.

Suitable users

This module suits administrators extending or repairing 8 Gb Fibre Channel fabrics in supported HPE storage environments. It will not meet the needs of buyers who require Ethernet-only SFPs, longer-reach single-mode optics, or higher-speed Fibre Channel form factors.

Deciding specification

The critical figure is the 8 Gb Fibre Channel data rate combined with the SFP+ form factor; the host port must accept an 8 Gb FC SFP+ module running the HCRP and SPP protocols for the transceiver to function.

Questions about this item

Will the AJ718A SFP transceiver link to an older 4 Gb Fibre Channel switch port?

The module runs at 8 Gb Fibre Channel; it will only negotiate down if the connected port also supports 8 Gb speeds.

How can I confirm the transceiver is operating correctly after installation?

Check the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 management console for a healthy link light and zero CRC errors on the port.

Does the bulk pack include patch cables or must I order LC duplex cables separately?

Only the transceiver modules are supplied; LC duplex fibre patch cables must be purchased separately.
