High-Speed Optical Connectivity with HDS Transceivers

HDS transceivers are essential components in any high-performance Hitachi Data Systems network. These compact modules provide the optical connectivity required for data transmission over fiber, enabling fast, reliable links between storage arrays, switches, and servers. At Direct Hardware Supply, we offer a full range of HDS-compatible transceivers to support enterprise networking and storage environments – ensuring efficient data flow across your infrastructure.

Supporting Fibre Channel and Ethernet Architectures

Whether used in storage area networks (SANs) or converged infrastructure, HDS transceivers provide high-bandwidth communication with low latency and signal integrity. These modules are available in various form factors, including SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and XFP, and support multiple protocols and transmission distances depending on wavelength and power output.

Deployed in tandem with HDS Switch platforms and HDS Network Adapter cards, transceivers ensure seamless interconnectivity between data center layers. They are particularly valuable for long-distance storage replication, inter-rack communication, and scalable storage fabrics.

Choosing the Right Transceiver for Your Environment

Selecting the appropriate transceiver involves several considerations: interface compatibility, data rate (1Gbps to 16Gbps and beyond), wavelength (850nm, 1310nm, 1550nm), and supported distance (from meters to kilometers). Our team helps identify modules based on your HDS system’s model and intended use – whether for short-range SAN links or extended fiber backbones.

Proper integration with devices like HDS Network Module components ensures full utilization of available bandwidth and minimizes the risk of signal degradation or bottlenecks. We also provide guidance on LC/SC connector types, duplex/single-mode requirements, and MSA compliance for multi-vendor environments.

Refurbished Options That Meet Enterprise Standards

Refurbished HDS transceivers offer dependable performance at significantly lower cost. Each unit undergoes complete testing for optical power, signal quality, and transmission integrity. These modules meet OEM specifications and integrate seamlessly into Hitachi systems without firmware or compatibility issues.

Refurbished optical modules are an excellent option for maintaining legacy infrastructure, expanding on a budget, or keeping critical spares on hand for rapid replacement.

Keep Your Network Fast and Reliable

As your infrastructure grows, high-speed, low-latency connections become even more vital. HDS transceivers allow you to scale confidently, without sacrificing performance or compatibility. At Direct Hardware Supply, we offer fully tested transceiver modules backed by expert support – helping you build a resilient storage network from the ground up.

Whether you're deploying new links or maintaining existing ones, trust our inventory and guidance to keep your systems connected, stable, and ready for what's next.
