NOKIA (Alcatel) compatible 3HE10550AA Description
EdgeOptic's 3HE10550AA compatible is a Nokia-coded 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver built on our 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. It carries Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) EEPROM data so it loads cleanly on SR OS without any unsupported-transceiver workaround. The 3HE-prefix is Nokia's current hardware ordering code, introduced after the Nokia acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent in 2016. Buyers searching for the 3HE10550AARA01 revision suffix will find the same physical module here; RA01 is Nokia's revision identifier and does not denote a different SKU.
The module transmits 100GbE over duplex single-mode fiber using LAN WDM. Four wavelength channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm each carry 25.78125 Gbps NRZ for an aggregate 103.125 Gbps line rate. The transmitter uses an EML array; the receiver uses a PIN photodiode array. Channels are multiplexed within the 1310 nm window and carried on a single duplex LC fiber pair. Optical path loss budget is 6.3 dB per IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88, supporting up to 10 km over OS2 (G.652.D) single-mode fiber. Reach in the field depends on actual fiber attenuation and connector loss.
Digital optical monitoring (DDM/DOM) reports transmit and receive optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage through the SFF-8636 management interface. The module has no internal FEC; it is transparent to host-side RS-FEC (IEEE 802.3bj Clause 91) running in the switch ASIC. Host electrical interface is CAUI-4 (4x25G NRZ per IEEE 802.3bj Clause 83). Operating temperature is 0 to 70 °C. Power draw is typical 3.5 W; QSFP28 Class 4 cage budget is 4.5 W maximum per SFF-8665.
The module ships CE/RoHS certified and complies with QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 and IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For project-quantity pricing or alternative vendor coding, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3HE10550AARA01?
3HE10550AARA01 is the same physical module as 3HE10550AA. The RA01 suffix is Nokia's revision identifier and does not change the optical or electrical specification. EdgeOptic's compatible covers both ordering codes with the same Nokia-coded EEPROM.
Which Nokia platforms support 3HE10550AA?
Confirmed Nokia SR OS platforms include the 7750 SR family, 7250 IXR, and 7950 XRS where the chassis transceiver table lists 3HE10550AA. Always verify the supported transceiver table for the specific line card and SR OS release before deployment, since QSFP28 port support varies by MDA and slot.
Does the compatible 3HE10550AA work natively on Nokia SR OS?
Yes. EdgeOptic codes the EEPROM with Nokia-recognized data, so SR OS reports the module as a vendor-supported 3HE10550AA. No allow-unsupported-transceiver or equivalent CLI override is required.
Is 3HE10550AA the same as 3HE10552AA or 3HE12229AA?
No. These are distinct Nokia QSFP28 SKUs. 3HE10550AA is 100GBASE-LR4 over 10 km LAN WDM. 3HE10552AA is the CWDM4 variant for 2 km reach. 3HE12229AA is the extended-reach LR4 variant for longer distance applications. Match the SKU to the optical reach and standard required by the link before ordering.
