HPE 50G SFP56 LC SR Transceiver

The HPE R0M48A is a 50G SFP56 LC SR transceiver designed for optical and data networking applications. It delivers 50 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode fiber using an LC connector interface.

Network builders needing 50GBase-X over

This module suits engineers deploying 50G links up to 100m on OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fiber in compatible HPE switches or routers. Teams requiring single-mode reach, longer distances, breakout cables or different form factors must select another module.

50G SFP56 LC SR 100m MMF specification

The decisive parameter is the 50GBase-X SR rating for 100m over multi-mode fiber with an LC duplex connector. Only ports explicitly qualified for 50G SFP56 SR optics will operate correctly with this transceiver.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HPE R0M48A SFP56 transceiver into the switch port correctly?

Insert the module firmly into the SFP56 cage until the latch clicks; the step often missed is removing the dust plugs from the LC receptacles before connecting the multi-mode patch cord.

What maintenance or replacement will the HPE R0M48A transceiver need over time?

The LC ferrules and the patch-cord end faces should be inspected and cleaned with a fibre scope and click-to-clean tool whenever links are re-patched to prevent contamination loss.

At what distance does the HPE R0M48A SR transceiver hit its reach limit on OM4 multi-mode fibre?

The SR optic is rated for 100 metres on OM4 multi-mode fibre; beyond that distance the optical budget is exceeded and errors appear first.
