Intel compatible C3N53AA Description
EdgeOptic's C3N53AA compatible is an HP-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. C3N53AA is HP's ordering code for an Intel-origin 10 GbE SFP+ SR transceiver sold as an accessory for HP Z-series workstation deployments with Intel SFP+ network adapter cards. The optic carries HP-recognized EEPROM identification so the workstation's Intel network adapter registers the module under the standard transceiver-acceptance policy.
The module operates per IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbps, 850 nm VCSEL into duplex LC, with up to 300 m on OM3 and up to 400 m on OM4 multimode fiber. TX optical launch is −5 to 0 dBm and receiver sensitivity is −11.1 dBm for a 6.1 dB optical budget. DDM telemetry per SFF-8472 exposes the standard transceiver health parameters: temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power, and RX power. Form factor is SFP+ (SFF-8431 MSA) at 0 to 70 degrees C commercial operating range.
Amazon and BT Business Direct catalogue C3N53AA as the HP Intel 10 GbE SFP+ SR Transceiver for HP Workstation Z2 G4, Z220, Z230, Z420, Z620, and Z820. The deployment context is HP Z-series workstation chassis hosting Intel SFP+ network adapters, where the workstation's Intel adapter firmware accepts the HP Intel EEPROM coding. The C3N53AA ordering code does not apply to Intel X520, X710, or E810 server-class network adapter platforms; for those Intel server adapter cards, the SR SFP+ ships under separate Intel-branded ordering codes targeted at the server adapter coding branch.
The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 platform underpins the same physical 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic across 80+ vendor ordering codes, with vendor-recognized EEPROM coding selected per OEM part number. C3N53AA is an HP Inc.-branded SFP+ following the November 2015 HP / HPE split, with HP Inc. retaining the workstation and consumer product lines including the Z-series workstation accessories catalogue. The 10GBASE-SR profile suits short-reach multimode fiber uplinks from HP Z-workstation SFP+ adapters into adjacent network switching for high-throughput workstation deployments.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For HP Z-series workstation SFP+ questions or volume orders,contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HP C3N53AA work in HP Z-series workstations only, or will it also register in non-HP equipment?
C3N53AA is HP's ordering code for the 10 GbE SFP+ SR transceiver sold as an accessory for HP Z-series workstations (Z2 G4, Z220, Z230, Z420, Z620, Z820) with Intel SFP+ network adapter cards. The optic carries HP-recognized EEPROM identification matched to the HP Z-workstation Intel adapter acceptance policy. For non-HP host equipment, the host's transceiver-acceptance policy determines whether the HP-coded EEPROM is accepted; verify against the host vendor's transceiver guide before ordering for deployment outside the HP Z-workstation context.
