Product details
Overview
LPe12100-OPT from Emulex is a certified spare optical transceiver kit for LightPulse 8GFC Host Bus Adapters, providing one 8GFC short-wave SFP+ module with LC connector, compliant with FC-PI-4 and operating at 8.5 Gb/s, designed for on-site replacement in enterprise SAN environments supporting virtualized server deployments and boot-from-SAN configurations.
For engineers reviewing the LPe12100-OPT datasheet, LPe12100-OPT compatibility, LPe12100-OPT optical specifications, or LPe12100-OPT equivalent, this part delivers verified drop-in replacement capability for Emulex LPe12000/LPe12002 HBAs, with confirmed 50/125 µm multimode fiber support up to 50 m at 8GFC and full integration into OneCommand Manager's role-based administration framework.
Technical Context
The LPe12100-OPT is not an IC, board, or controller-it is a field-replaceable optical transceiver module (SFP+) certified by Emulex for use exclusively with LightPulse 8GFC HBAs. It implements FC-PI-4 physical layer compliance, supports auto-negotiated 2.125/4.25/8.5 Gb/s Fibre Channel data rates, and uses a Class 1 laser compliant with IEC 60825-1.
It interfaces via standard SFP+ electrical interface per SFF-8431, requires no driver or firmware update, and operates within the same power envelope (+3.3 V only) and thermal envelope (0°C to 55°C) as the host HBA. Its LC duplex connector mates with standard multimode fiber cabling used in data center SAN top-of-rack and end-of-row deployments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 8.5 Gb/s (8GFC), auto-detected alongside 4.25 Gb/s and 2.125 Gb/s for backward compatibility with legacy FC infrastructure. |
| Fiber Type | 50/125 µm multimode OM2/OM3 fiber-supports up to 50 m at 8GFC with 500 MHz·km bandwidth, or 150 m with 2000 MHz·km bandwidth. |
| Optical Interface | SFP+ form factor with LC duplex connector-mechanically and electrically compliant with SFF-8431 and FC-PI-4 standards. |
| Laser Class | IEC 60825-1 Class 1-safe for unrestricted user access without optical safety controls. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 55°C ambient-matches host HBA thermal envelope, enabling co-location in standard 1U/2U server chassis without derating. |
| Power Supply | +3.3 V only, <1.5 W typical-draws power directly from host SFP+ cage, eliminating need for auxiliary power or voltage conversion. |

FAQ
Is LPe12100-OPT compatible with non-Emulex 8GFC HBAs?
No. The LPe12100-OPT is Emulex Certified-its firmware handshake, digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM), and vendor-specific EEPROM programming are validated only for Emulex LightPulse LPe12000 and LPe12002 HBAs. Interoperability with third-party adapters is not guaranteed and may result in link failure or unsupported operational modes.
What is the maximum supported distance for LPe12100-OPT at 8GFC?
The LPe12100-OPT supports up to 50 meters over 50/125 µm OM2 multimode fiber (500 MHz·km bandwidth) and up to 150 meters over OM3 fiber (2000 MHz·km bandwidth) at 8.5 Gb/s. It does not support single-mode fiber or long-wave transmission-those require the LPe12002-X8 variant with 800-SM-LC-I/L optics.
Does LPe12100-OPT require firmware updates or driver installation?
No. The LPe12100-OPT is a passive optical transceiver with embedded Emulex-certified firmware; it requires no driver, BIOS update, or host-side configuration. Once inserted into a powered LPe12000 or LPe12002 HBA, it is automatically recognized and initialized at boot or hot-plug event without server reboot.
Can LPe12100-OPT be used for FCoE or iSCSI applications?
No. The LPe12100-OPT is physically and electrically optimized for native Fibre Channel protocols only (FC-PI-4, FC-LS, FCP-4). It lacks the encoding, timing, and link-layer logic required for FCoE or iSCSI transport; those protocols require dedicated converged network adapters (CNAs) and compatible optics.
How is LPe12100-OPT managed in a virtualized environment?
LPe12100-OPT is managed indirectly through the host HBA using Emulex OneCommand Manager, which provides real-time SFP+ DDM telemetry (temperature, TX bias, RX power), port beaconing, and role-based LDAP/AD-integrated administration-enabling centralized visibility across VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, and Linux KVM deployments without modifying the optic itself.
