Aruba compatible J4858C Description
EdgeOptic's J4858C compatible is an HP-coded version of the EdgeOptic 1.25G-SFP-550D multi-vendor 1000BASE-SX transceiver. It carries the HP X121 1G SFP LC SX optical spec: an 850nm VCSEL transmitter, a PIN photodiode receiver, and a duplex LC interface over multimode fiber. The module runs dual-rate, covering 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet at 1.25 Gbps and 1G Fibre Channel short-wave at 1.0625 Gbps, in line with IEEE 802.3z and FC-PI.
The module holds a 7.5 dB optical budget, which supports 550m over OM2 (50/125) multimode fiber and 275m over OM1 (62.5/125) per the 1000BASE-SX specification. It operates from a +3.3V supply across a 0 to 70°C commercial temperature range. The EdgeOptic compatible includes DDM/DOM digital diagnostics so the host can read live transmit power, receive power, temperature, and bias-current telemetry on the port.
The J4858C is the X121 part for HPE ProVision and ArubaOS-Switch platforms, the ProCurve lineage rather than AOS-CX. EdgeOptic codes the module with HPE-recognized EEPROM, so it is accepted on ProVision-based switches without an unsupported-transceiver workaround. Confirm your specific switch model against the HPE Aruba transceiver compatibility guide before ordering. For AOS-CX switches such as the 6000, 6100, or 6200 series, the J4858D is the matching part rather than the J4858C.
The module is CE and RoHS certified, rated Class 1 Laser, and built to the SFP INF-8074i MSA. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, it ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the J4858C and J4858D?
Both share the same 1000BASE-SX optical spec: 850nm, MMF, 550m over OM2. The difference is platform coding. The J4858C is the X121 part for HPE ProVision and ArubaOS-Switch platforms (ProCurve lineage). The J4858D is the Aruba AOS-CX part for switches such as the 6000, 6100, and 6200 series. Pick the part that matches your switch operating system, and verify against the HPE Aruba transceiver guide.
Is the J4858C the same as the J4859C?
No. The J4858C is the X121 1000BASE-SX module: 850nm over multimode fiber for short reach. The J4859C is the X121 1000BASE-LX variant, which runs at 1310nm over single-mode fiber for longer reach. They use different fiber types and are not interchangeable. Confirm the part number and the optical class against the HPE transceiver table before ordering.
Which HPE switches does the J4858C work in?
The J4858C is the X121 SX part for HPE ProVision and ArubaOS-Switch platforms, including switch families such as the Aruba 2530 and 2540 and the HPE 1820. EdgeOptic codes the module with HPE-recognized EEPROM so it is accepted without an unsupported-transceiver workaround. Switch support changes by model and firmware, so verify your exact unit against the HPE Aruba transceiver compatibility guide before ordering.
