About the R0Q20A

R0Q20A is the genuine HPE 4-pack of 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ optical transceivers for 6th generation Modular Smart Array (MSA) SAN controllers. Engineered with updated optical transmitter circuitry, they deliver low latency and high bandwidth for enterprise SAN fabrics connected to MSA 1060, 2060, and 2062 arrays.

Compatibility

Compatible exclusively with 6th generation HPE MSA storage arrays including HPE MSA 1060, MSA 2060, and MSA 2062 configured with Fibre Channel host controller canisters. Operates with all standard OM3 and OM4 multimode LC optical patch cables across 16Gb and 8Gb fabric speeds.

How to identify a genuine unit

Metallic SFP+ transceiver body with black extraction lever clasp, internal optical lenses, and duplex LC optical connector. Barcode label indicates option part number R0Q20A, spare part number R3B10A, and assembly part number P10314-001 alongside regulatory marks.

Buying used

Inspect optical connector bore for dust or contamination and ensure the metal housing has no dents. Plug into an MSA Gen6 controller and verify in the SMU web console that the SFP status reports 'OK' and that optical transmit and receive power levels are within vendor specification.
