Description

The JL484A-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Aruba JL484A. It provides plug-and-play compatibility with Aruba switches and devices that support SFP28 interfaces. - IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-SR standard compliance ensures interoperability with any 25GbE SFP28 host port - SFP28 form factor, 25 Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre with LC duplex connector - Reaches 70m over OM3 fibre or 100m over OM4 fibre, limited by minimum optical budget of 2.6 dB - Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support enables real-time parameter monitoring of temperature, voltage, bias current, and optical power - Hot-swappable for zero-downtime installation and replacement in live networks - 0 to 70C operating temperature range suits standard data centre and enterprise environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3by compliance guarantees full 25GBASE-SR interoperability with any vendor SFP28 host supporting the standard, independent of EEPROM vendor identification
• 850nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver optimised for 50/125µm multi-mode fibre with minimum 2.6 dB optical budget
• Fibre reach determined by modal bandwidth: OM3 fibre (2000 MHz·km minimum) supports 70m, OM4 fibre (4700 MHz·km) extends to 100m
• Digital diagnostics (DOM) provide access to real-time temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, and receive power via I2C interface
• Hot-pluggable design permits module insertion and removal without powering down the host switch, reducing service interruption during upgrades or troubleshooting
• 0 to 70°C commercial temperature range covers typical enterprise and data centre environments without requiring extended-temp variants
• SFF-8402 MSA form factor ensures mechanical compatibility with all SFP28 cage designs and meets electrical lane specifications for 25G NRZ signalling

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Aruba JL484A?
A: Yes. The JL484A-BCC is fully compatible because it meets the IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-SR standard, uses the same SFP28 form factor, 850nm wavelength, and 25 Gbps data rate as the Aruba original. It is plug-and-play in any Aruba device with an SFP28 slot that lists the JL484A as supported.

Q: Which Aruba platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in Aruba platforms with SFP28 ports that support 25GBASE-SR, including the 8325 Switch Series (minimum ArubaOS-CX 10.03.0001), 6300 series (minimum 10.04.0001), and 6400 modules with SFP56 ports. Always verify current transceiver compatibility in the datasheet or QuickSpecs for your specific switch model.

Q: What fibre type do I need and why does reach vary between OM3 and OM4?
A: This transceiver requires 50/125µm multi-mode fibre. The 850nm VCSEL laser relies on modal bandwidth: OM3 fibre has a minimum 2000 MHz·km bandwidth and supports 70m, while OM4 fibre offers 4700 MHz·km and reaches 100m. Both operate within the module's 2.6 dB minimum optical budget. Higher bandwidth fibre reduces modal dispersion and extends reach.

Q: Can I mix this transceiver with OEM Aruba optics in the same switch?
A: Yes. Because this transceiver is IEEE 802.3by compliant, it interoperates seamlessly at the physical layer with any other 25GBASE-SR optic, regardless of vendor. The switch sees a standards-compliant 25G SR interface. DOM parameters are accessible identically via the SFF-8472 digital diagnostics interface, so monitoring and alerting work uniformly across mixed-vendor optics in the same chassis.

Q: Does this transceiver require forward error correction (FEC) to be enabled on the host port?
A: No. 25GBASE-SR over OM3 or OM4 fibre at distances up to 100m operates below the bit error rate threshold where FEC is necessary. The IEEE 802.3by standard defines 25GBASE-SR without mandatory FEC for these short multi-mode links. FEC is typically reserved for longer 25G links (LR) or higher-speed breakout scenarios where signal integrity margins are tighter.
