Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

This copper transceiver is intended for short equipment links over the twisted-pair cabling category stated in the specifications. Typical uses include switch-to-server, switch-to-switch and rack-level connections where an RJ-45 interface is preferred over fiber. Use the required cable category, observe the rated distance and confirm that the host supports the module’s speed, power consumption and electrical operating modes.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The High-Speed interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

For this copper interface, use the stated cable category and keep the channel within 100m. Patch-cord construction, connector quality and auto-negotiation can affect the result. Verify the negotiated speed and diagnostics at both ends rather than assuming every RJ-45 port behaves identically.

HPE BladeSystem c-Class Compatibility and Factory Testing

The module is checked for host recognition as 453154-B21, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

Use the electrical and optical limits in the specification table as the acceptance reference for this model. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Not Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Structured Fiber Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the transceiver as part of the complete channel. Follow the intended patch-panel route, maintain bend control and leave service access around the port. Confirm connector polish and fiber type at every mated pair; a documented service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 1000Mbps, rated reach 100m.

Ordering Information

Use 453154-B21 as the compatibility cross-reference and SFP-GE-T as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
