FAQs

Q: What does the AP-MC-SFP module do?
A: It provides a 1G SFP fibre uplink and converts it to the AP€™s Ethernet interface, enabling fibre backhaul where copper cabling is not feasible.

Q: Which SFP transceivers are supported?
A: It is designed for standard 1G SFP optics (such as SX, LX, or BX) when used with Aruba-approved transceivers. Check the Aruba compatibility matrix for exact part numbers.

Q: Is PoE delivered over the fibre uplink?
A: No. Fibre does not carry power. The access point must be powered according to its specifications (for example, via PoE on a copper port or DC input, depending on the AP model).

Q: Is this module compatible with my Aruba Wi€‘Fi 6/6E access point?
A: Compatibility varies by AP model. Refer to the official Aruba AP and accessory compatibility matrix to confirm support for AP-MC-SFP.

Q: Does the AP-MC-SFP require configuration?
A: No. It operates as an unmanaged, plug-and-play media converter between the SFP fibre interface and the AP€™s Ethernet interface.

Q: Can I purchase the AP-MC-SFP in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading is an Australian supplier of Aruba solutions. You can order the AP-MC-SFP directly at iptrading.com.au.
