Aruba compatible JL309A Description
EdgeOptic's JL309A compatible is an HPE Aruba-coded 100GBASE-SR4 version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-100 multi-vendor QSFP28 transceiver, one universal short-reach module coded for a range of switch vendors. The OEM part is the HPE Networking X151 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 MMF transceiver. It runs 100G Ethernet over four parallel 850 nm VCSEL lanes at 25G each across multimode fiber, terminated on an MTP/MPO-12 (UPC) connector using 8 active fibers, 4 transmit and 4 receive. The transceiver port is female (unpinned); the patch cable is the pinned male side. Reach is 70 m over OM3 and 100 m over OM4, per IEEE 802.3bm Clause 95.
Optical specifications match the OEM module: a 1.9 dB average link budget, receiver sensitivity of −10.3 dBm per lane, NRZ modulation, and no FEC required at this reach. The transmitter uses VCSEL lasers at 850 nm; the receiver is a PIN photodiode. The reach figures assume standard multimode attenuation, so OM4 supports the full 100 m while OM3 is rated to 70 m, with achievable distance depending on patch panels, splices, and connector cleanliness in the installed link. DDM/DOM is supported, so the host can read live optical power, temperature, bias, and voltage. The module operates across the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range at 3.5 W and is compliant with the QSFP28 MSA and SFF-8665. This is a 100G Ethernet short-reach optic; it does not carry Fibre Channel, OTN, or SONET traffic.
EdgeOptic codes this compatible with Aruba-recognized EEPROM so it is accepted natively in Aruba switches. Compatible with Aruba campus and aggregation switches that have 100G QSFP28 ports, including the AOS-CX line. Confirm the specific switch model and software version against the HPE Aruba transceiver guide before deployment. Typical roles include data center core interconnects and campus aggregation uplinks. Full optical specifications are on the datasheet below.
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 pricing or technical consultation, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the JL309A compatible be accepted on Aruba AOS-CX switches without a third-party transceiver workaround?
EdgeOptic codes this compatible with Aruba-recognized EEPROM so the switch identifies it as a supported module. Aruba AOS-CX has a third-party optic policy that can differ by software release, so confirm the behavior for your switch model and AOS-CX version against the HPE Aruba transceiver guide before deployment.
