Unlock unprecedented scalability and interconnect performance for your HPE SN8700B Director POD with this comprehensive kit that combines an Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) license with a robust 8-pack of 50Gb QSFP56 transceivers. Designed for data centers that demand low latency, high density, and simplified management, this solution enables dense, high-speed interconnections across director pods, supporting large-scale spine-and-leaf deployments. The eight QSFP56 transceivers deliver 50 Gbps per lane with 2 km reach, making it ideal for mid-to-long-haul intra-data-center links while preserving cable efficiency and space. This is a purpose-built kit for enterprises and service providers who require a ready-to-deploy licensing and transceiver bundle that accelerates deployment, scaling, and performance.

  • All-in-one licensing and hardware bundle: This kit pairs the HPE SN8700B Director POD ICL license with an 8-pack of 50Gb QSFP56 transceivers, delivering ready-to-use interconnect capabilities for multi-pod configurations. The ICL license expands inter-chassis connectivity options between director pods, enabling scalable, fabric-wide bandwidth without complex licensing steps after deployment. The combination minimizes procurement friction and accelerates rollout, so you can realize faster time-to-value in day-1 readiness and beyond.
  • High-density 50Gb QSFP56 transceivers: Each QSFP56 module supports 50 Gbps per lane, delivering formidable bandwidth within a compact form factor. With eight transceivers in the kit, you can achieve up to 400 Gbps of aggregate potential across multiple links, enabling rich east-west connectivity for dense leaf-spine fabrics. The QSFP56 platform is designed for flexible topologies, whether you’re building spine-leaf, core-connected fabrics, or multi-chassis interconnects, while maintaining a streamlined cable footprint.
  • Long-reach 2 km optical links: The included transceivers are specified for 2 km reach on single-mode fiber, making them well-suited for intra-data-center deployments that span racks, pods, or rows. The 2 km reach provides greater deployment flexibility, reduces the number of required hops, and improves latency for inter-pod paths. This capability helps you extend high-speed connectivity across larger data-center campuses without sacrificing signal integrity or performance.
  • Designed for the HPE SN8700B Director POD ecosystem: The ICL license and transceiver kit is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the SN8700B Director POD chassis, ensuring compatibility with the director’s switching architecture and management plane. By enabling efficient inter-pod connections and aligning with HPE’s management tooling, this kit facilitates straightforward configuration, policy deployment, and monitoring across your fabric.
  • Reliability, support, and value: Backed by HPE’s engineering and global support network, this kit is built for data-center-grade reliability and lifecycle. The combination of a licensed feature set and high-quality transceivers provides a dependable path to scale, while service coverage and warranty options help protect your investment as your data center grows and evolves. This is a strategic upgrade for customers seeking durable hardware paired with essential licensing to unlock advanced interconnect capabilities.

How to install [product]

  • Step 1 — Prepare your SN8700B director: Ensure the device is powered down or placed in a maintenance mode per your data center policy. Verify firmware compatibility with the ICL license and transceiver specifications. Confirm you have available QSFP56 ports for the 8-pack transceiver kit.
  • Step 2 — Unpack and inspect: Carefully unpack the ICL license kit and the eight QSFP56 transceivers. Inspect for any shipping damage and verify the packaging contents match the order. Handle all components with care to avoid ESD or connector damage.
  • Step 3 — Install transceivers: Insert all eight QSFP56 modules into the appropriate 50G-capable ports on the SN8700B director or compatible line cards. Ensure each module seats firmly with a positive click and that the port indicators reflect attachment.
  • Step 4 — Activate the ICL license: Access the SN8700B management interface and apply the Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) license to enable cross-pod interconnect features. Follow the vendor-provided steps for license activation, validation, and policy application to ensure the ICL functionality is available in your fabric.
  • Step 5 — Connect fiber and verify: Connect the LC duplex fiber pairs to the transceivers according to your design (and keep fiber orientation consistent across links). Power up the system, verify link status on each port, and run basic connectivity tests to confirm end-to-end 50G links across inter-pod paths. Save your configuration and document the new topology for future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What exactly is included in this kit?
    A: The kit includes an Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) license for the HPE SN8700B Director POD and eight QSFP56 50Gb transceivers rated for up to 2 km on single-mode fiber. It is designed to enable high-density, long-reach interconnects between director pods in a spine-leaf or multi-pod fabric.
  • Q: What is the Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) license?
    A: The ICL license unlocks cross-pod interconnect capabilities within the SN8700B fabric, enabling efficient, scalable communication between director pods. This license is essential for deployments that rely on high-bandwidth inter-pod paths and coordinated fabric policies.
  • Q: What performance can I expect from the 50G QSFP56 transceivers?
    A: Each transceiver provides 50 Gbps per link, with eight modules allowing substantial aggregate bandwidth across the network. These transceivers are suitable for high-density spine-leaf layouts and other architectures that require robust, high-speed interconnects within or between data-center pods.
  • Q: What fiber and reach are supported?
    A: The included transceivers are designed for 2 km reach on single-mode fiber. They typically use standard 1310 nm optics and LC duplex connectors, aligning with common data-center fiber infrastructure for reliable long-reach interconnects.

It works
Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Well this product works. At first I thought maybe the Caribbean sun wasn’t as bad as people said since I was in the sun for 4 days wearing this sunscreen and hardly had tan lines, then I tested my theory for 1 day with another brand and got a sunburn. I took star off (would really only do a half if it allowed) for when you go in the water or if you sweat there is a bit of white residue that it leaves. But for sun purposes, if you want protection, I highly recommend.

A must have for superior sun protection!

Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 50 is an absolute game-changer when it comes to sun protection. Whether you're relaxing at the beach, swimming, or enjoying an outdoor adventure, this sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection that effectively shields the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. One of its standout features is its lightweight texture, it glides effortlessly onto the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. Unlike some sunscreens that leave a sticky residue, Beach Defense absorbs quickly and smoothly, making it ideal for both face and body application. Another major plus? Water resistance! This formula stays put, even after swimming or sweating, ensuring continuous protection throughout the day. And despite its strong defense against the sun, it feels refreshing and comfortable on the skin, making reapplication a breeze. I used it during a vacation in the Dominican Republic, and me and my family enjoyed it. My 5 years old girl has been protected from the sun all the time. If you're looking for reliable, effective, and easy-to-use sun protection, this sunscreen is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! ☀️👌
