This item, 845398-B21, is the HPE option part number for the product described as 25Gb SFP28 SR 100m Transceiver. Further details below.
The HPE 25Gb SFP28 SR 100m Transceiver (845398-B21) is a high-performance, short-range optical module engineered to meet the demanding connectivity requirements of modern enterprise and data center environments. Delivering 25 Gbps data rates over multimode fiber (MMF), it ensures efficient and reliable connectivity across distances up to 100 meters on OM4 fiber and 70 meters on OM3 fiber. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, the module utilizes a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) transmitter and a PIN photodiode receiver, ensuring optimal performance over MMF. Its hot-swappable SFP28 form factor simplifies installation and enables quick replacement without disrupting network operations - making it an ideal choice for server interconnects, storage networks, and high-speed data transmission workloads.
Built to the highest industry standards, the HPE 845398-B21 is fully compliant with the SFP28 Multi Source Agreement (MSA SFF-8402), and carries RoHS and CE certifications for broad regulatory compliance. With support for Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), the module allows network administrators to monitor key parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels, facilitating proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime. Designed to operate within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the HPE 845398-B21 is suitable for a variety of deployment scenarios - from hyperscale data centers to enterprise campus networks - while its efficient heat dissipation and low power consumption contribute to energy savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
