The AddOn AJ716A-AO is an HP® AJ716A-compatible 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver for network administrators connecting Fibre Channel equipment over multimode fiber, with an 850 nm wavelength, LC connector, and reach up to 300 m.
Recommended For
- Storage or data-center administrators adding an 8Gb Fibre Channel short-wave link to an HPE-supported SAN switch or storage system; confirm compatibility with the exact equipment model before installation.
- IT teams connecting Fibre Channel hosts and storage across short, in-building multimode-fiber runs where both link endpoints support 8Gb Fibre Channel.
- Homelab builders experimenting with a Fibre Channel SAN who already have compatible FC switches, host adapters, storage, and multimode fiber—not just Ethernet SFP+ equipment.
- Maintainers replacing a matching HP AJ716A optic in supported legacy Fibre Channel equipment, after checking the device’s transceiver requirements and third-party optic policy.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A server administrator connects an FC HBA to a compatible SAN switch; the link lets the server access storage volumes presented through the Fibre Channel fabric.
- A storage administrator links a compatible SAN switch to a Fibre Channel array, allowing connected servers to reach shared block storage through the fabric.
- A backup administrator connects an FC tape library to a server HBA directly or through a compatible SAN switch; the server can then use the library for tape backup and restore jobs.
- An administrator setting up a small Fibre Channel environment connects a server to compatible storage without a SAN switch, where the server, storage, and optics support direct-attach operation; this provides a direct storage path without a switched fabric.
