Aruba Switches Transceivers Optimized Connectivity

A

An Aruba Switch Transceiver is a hot-pluggable optical or copper module that enables high-speed connectivity on Aruba networking switches.

A

Aruba supports a full range of MSA-compliant SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, QL module and DAC transceivers validated for Aruba CX and Aruba OS-based switches.

A

Select based on port speed (1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G), distance requirements, fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) and form factor (SFP/SFP+/QSFP+).

A

Aruba SX SFPs support up to 300 m on OM3 and 550 m on OM4 multi-mode fiber; LX SFPs support up to 10 km on single-mode fiber.

A

Aruba transceivers are IEEE-MSA and RoHS compliant and may operate in third-party switches, but full support and warranty apply only on verified Aruba platforms.

A

Yes. Aruba SFP+, QSFP+ and higher-speed transceivers include DOM for real-time metrics on optical power, temperature and voltage via ArubaOS CLI or GUI.

A

Aruba SFPs support multi-mode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) and single-mode fiber (OS1/OS2) based on the transceiver model and distance requirements.

A

Clean the port, align the module with the slot, insert firmly until the latch clicks, then connect the fiber cable to complete installation.

A

Consult Aruba’s official transceiver compatibility matrix or use the ‘show interfaces transceiver’ command in ArubaOS to confirm model support.

A

Aruba offers 1 G to 100 G passive and active DAC cables in SFP+, QSFP+ and QSFP28 formats, supporting distances up to 7 m for passive models.

A

Yes. Aruba transceivers support hot-plug installation and removal without powering down the switch or disrupting adjacent ports.

A

Transceiver firmware is updated via ArubaOS releases. Apply the latest ArubaOS image to automatically update all validated transceiver firmware.

A

All Aruba transceivers carry Aruba’s limited lifetime hardware warranty and are covered by Aruba technical support when used in supported platforms.

A

Check cable cleanliness, verify fiber/pin alignment, ensure transceiver seating, review DOM metrics and confirm port configuration matches transceiver type.

A

Lead times vary by region and model but typically range from 2 to 4 weeks. Contact your Aruba partner for precise availability and expedited options.

A

Yes. Aruba transceivers meet RoHS 6/6 and IEEE MSA specifications for form factor, optical performance and interoperability.

A

Follow local electronic waste regulations or participate in Aruba’s take-back and recycling program to ensure compliant, environmentally responsible disposal.
