Description

The HPE Networking X130 10G SFP+ LC BiDi 10km Downlink Transceiver delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a single strand of single-mode fibre, making it an efficient solution for data centres and enterprise campus networks looking to maximise existing fibre infrastructure. Designed as a downlink transceiver, it uses bidirectional (BiDi) technology with LC connectors to transmit and receive on separate wavelengths over one fibre strand, reducing cabling complexity and cost at distances up to 10km.

This HPE-branded transceiver is engineered for compatibility with HPE Networking switches and routers supporting standard SFP+ slots, ensuring seamless integration into HPE infrastructure environments. It is ideal for inter-building links, long-reach access-layer connections, and fibre-constrained deployments.

FAQs

Q: What does 'BiDi' mean on this transceiver?
A: BiDi stands for Bidirectional. This transceiver transmits and receives data on a single strand of fibre using two different wavelengths, eliminating the need for a fibre pair and halving your cabling requirements.

Q: Why is this described as a 'Downlink' transceiver?
A: BiDi transceivers are sold in matched pairs — one Uplink and one Downlink. Each uses opposite TX/RX wavelengths. The JL738A (10-D) is the Downlink unit and must be paired with a compatible BiDi Uplink transceiver at the other end of the fibre link.

Q: What fibre type and maximum distance does this support?
A: This transceiver operates over single-mode fibre (SMF) and supports link distances up to 10km, making it suitable for inter-building and campus-wide connections.

Q: Which HPE switches and devices are compatible with the JL738A?
A: The JL738A is designed for use in HPE Networking switches, routers, and other devices with standard SFP+ slots. Always verify compatibility with your specific HPE platform before ordering.

Q: Can I use this transceiver with non-HPE equipment?
A: This is an HPE-branded transceiver optimised for HPE platforms. While SFP+ is a standard form factor, compatibility with third-party equipment is not guaranteed and should be confirmed with your vendor.

Q: Can I purchase this transceiver in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist stocking HPE Networking transceivers including the JL738A. Contact the team for pricing, stock availability, and volume quotes.
