About the 407-BBOH
The Dell 407-BBOH is a Dell 8Gb Short Wave SFP+ Fibre Channel Optical Transceiver designed for optical transmission across multimode fiber infrastructure. Operating over a calibrated optical wavelength with LC or MPO connectors, the 407-BBOH converts electrical data from host network adapters into optical signals for data center interconnects. In Dell's networking portfolio, 407-BBOH provides low-latency optical links for servers and switches.
Compatibility
The 407-BBOH module installs into compatible transceiver cages on Dell PowerEdge network adapters and Dell PowerSwitch enterprise switches including R730, R630, MD3200, MD3400. The 407-BBOH operates over standard multimode optical fiber patch cables up to its rated transmission distance. Supported ports auto-negotiate link parameters based on installed 407-BBOH optics.
How to identify a genuine unit
Authentic Dell 407-BBOH transceivers carry a silver label displaying DP/N 0NK37R, transceiver model codes, and manufacturing serialization. When installed in Dell switches or network interface cards, the 407-BBOH module registers via internal EEPROM with digital optical monitoring (DOM) reporting laser transmit and receive power.
Buying used
When purchasing a pre-owned 407-BBOH, inspect the optical bore for dust, scratches, or ferrule contamination using a fiber inspection scope. Verify that the metal bail latch on the 407-BBOH operates smoothly and locks firmly into host cages. Test in a switch or adapter port to confirm that DOM telemetry on the 407-BBOH reports normal optical power levels.
