HP compatible R1N46A Description

EdgeOptic's R1N46A compatible is an HPE-coded version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 multi-vendor 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 transceiver. It supports 2 km links on G.652 single-mode fiber across the CWDM4 MSA wavelength grid at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm, with four parallel lanes aggregated to a 100 Gb/s line rate over a duplex LC connection. The optical front end uses DML transmitters and PIN receivers, with NRZ modulation per CWDM4 lane and host-side FEC handled per the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported, reporting TX power, RX power, bias current, supply voltage and module temperature per SFF-8636, and the module operates across the 0 to 70 degrees Celsius commercial temperature range. It conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8636 and SFF-8665), the 100G CWDM4 MSA, the 100G CLR4 Alliance specification and the ITU-T G.694.2 CWDM wavelength grid.

The EdgeOptic R1N46A compatible carries the HPE EEPROM identifier, so HPE Networking host platforms that read the standard HPE transceiver identification specification recognize the module as a supported HPE-channel transceiver on QSFP28 ports compatible with CWDM4 MSA optics. The HPE R1N46A ordering code is associated with assembly number P11817-001 in HPE asset and sparing references; both designations refer to the same module across HPE parts lists. For deployment validation on a specific HPE Networking host platform, contact our sales team for confirmation against the HPE compatibility matrix.

At the root spec level, the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 module is qualified for triple-rate operation across 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 4 by 32G Fibre Channel and OTU4 transport. The HPE ordering context for R1N46A covers 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications; 32G Fibre Channel and OTU4 transport require host platforms outside the HPE Networking 100GE deployment scope for this part. For 32G Fibre Channel or OTU4 deployments on alternative host platforms, contact our sales team.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
