HPE part number 849444-001 is a QSFP28/SFP28 adapter designed for the StoreFabric SN2010M switch and compatible HPE networking environments. This breakout adapter enables mixed-mode connectivity by allowing a single QSFP28 port to support up to four SFP28 connections, facilitating flexible 25Gbps Ethernet deployments. The adapter is passive, requiring no external power, and maintains full compatibility with HPE's StoreFabric switching infrastructure and ProLiant server ecosystems including DL360 G11 and related generation systems.
Typical use cases include data center fabric expansion, high-density server interconnects, and storage area network (SAN) buildouts where mixed SFP28 and QSFP28 transceiver requirements exist. The breakout design reduces switch port complexity while maintaining line-rate throughput across connected devices. Tested and guaranteed, available via quote.
