Optický transceiver modul Aruba JL486A

The Aruba JL486A is a 25G SFP28 LC LR fiber optic transceiver module designed for compatible Aruba and HPE networking equipment. It supports a 25,000 Mbit/s data rate over single-mode fiber (SMF) and is intended for long-reach links up to 10 km, providing a compact, hot-pluggable solution for upgrading uplinks and server connections in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The module offers a standardized SFP28 interface for straightforward installation and interoperability with supported switches and routers. Its small form factor and 0.02 kg weight make it easy to handle and deploy in dense rack environments. Silver housing and industry-standard dimensions ensure compatibility with industry systems that accept SFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• 25G uplinks between switches
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Long-reach single-mode fiber links up to 10 km
• High-density networking environments requiring SFP28 ports

How to use

Ensure the transceiver is compatible with the target Aruba or HPE device and that the device supports 25G SFP28 LR modules. With the host device powered on or following the vendor guidance for hot-plug operations, insert the SFP28 module into an appropriate SFP28 slot until it clicks into place, then connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables. Configure the host device interface according to network requirements (speed, duplex, VLANs, etc.) and verify link status and diagnostics through the switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode LC fiber and maintain proper ESD handling. Verify firmware and hardware compatibility lists from Aruba/HPE before deployment and test link performance after installation to confirm 25G operation and expected reach.
