{"title":"HPE B-Series SAN Switches - Refurbished, Used, New","description":"\u003cp\u003eHPE B-Series SAN switches are 1U Fibre Channel switches that connect servers to storage arrays. This collection carries the SN3000B, SN3600B and SN6600B in new, refurbished and used condition, along with the SN3000B power supply and fan assembly and the AJ716B 8Gb shortwave SFP+ transceiver.

The SN3000B is a 16Gb switch with 24 ports, 12 of them active on the QW937B. The SN3600B runs at up to 32Gb per port and has 24 ports, sold with either 8 or 24 active. The SN6600B is also 32Gb, with 48 SFP+ ports plus 4 QSFP ports and 24 active ports on the Q0U58B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is the other deciding factor. HPE builds the SN3600B with one integrated power supply and does not offer a redundant supply for it. The SN3000B ships with one power supply and accepts an optional second, hot-swappable supply (QW939A). The SN6600B has two redundant, hot-swappable power supplies. If the fabric needs dual power feeds, look at the SN6600B or an SN3000B fitted with a second QW939A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHPE part\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFibre Channel ports\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower supplies\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN3000B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQW937B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 (12 active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne standard, optional second\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=QW937B\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN3600B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQ1H70B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 (8 active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne integrated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Q1H70B\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN3600B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR4G55A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 (8 active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne integrated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=R4G55A\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN3600B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQ1H71B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 (24 active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne integrated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Q1H71B\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN6600B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQ0U58B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 SFP+ plus 4 QSFP (24 active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo, redundant, hot-swappable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Q0U58B\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSN3000B power supply and fan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQW939A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional hot-swappable supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=QW939A\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Gb shortwave SFP+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAJ716B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Gb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=AJ716B\"\u003eShop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelated HPE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hpe-switches-refurbished-used\"\u003eHPE Switches\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hpe-switches-servers-used-refurbished\"\u003eHPE \u0026amp; Aruba Switches\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hpe-fibre-channel-transceivers-sfp-sfp-refurbished-used-new\"\u003eHPE Fibre Channel Transceivers - SFP SFP+\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hpe-optical-transceivers-refurbished-used\"\u003eHPE Optical Transceivers - SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP+, CFP\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee each page\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee each page\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee each page\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee each page\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speeds do SN3600B ports run at?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch supports 4, 8, 16 and 32Gb Fibre Channel.
