Aruba compatible JL563B Description

EdgeOptic's JL563B compatible is an HPE Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-T multi-vendor 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver. It is built as a direct replacement for the HPE Aruba JL563B and ships with EEPROM coding that AOS-CX inventory accepts on platforms which list this ordering code in the current Aruba Transceiver Guide. JL563B is the later HPE part number alongside JL563A; HPE lists them as separate ordering codes, and the EdgeOptic compatible matches the JL563B SKU specifically.

Per the HPE official product listing, JL563B is a 10GBASE-T SFP+ RJ45 module rated for 30 m on Cat6a copper. Some third-party reseller listings cite 80 m for the same SKU; the HPE official spec is 30 m, and 10GBASE-T over copper SFP+ is not physically capable of 80 m. The module operates at 10G only and does not auto-negotiate down to 1G; it is also not supported through a QSA28 adapter, per the Aruba transceiver guide. Electrical interface follows the SFF-8431 SFP+ MSA with IEEE 802.3an for 10G. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C with CE and RoHS certification.

Platform support is documented in the AOS-S and AOS-CX Transceiver Guide. Verify the target switch model and software revision against the current edition of that guide before deployment, since the qualified-platform list changes by AOS-CX release. Treat JL563A and JL563B as distinct ordering codes for procurement purposes; consult the Aruba Transceiver Guide for the chassis interoperability statement that applies to a given switch.

DOM telemetry on this copper module is scoped to case temperature, supply voltage, and link status, reported through AOS-CX show interface transceiver detail and Aruba Central inventory views. There is no laser, so transmit optical power, receive optical power, and laser bias current do not exist on this part and are not reported. Inventory tooling that expects optical DDM values should be configured to treat the module as a copper transceiver.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For volume pricing, lead time confirmation, or validation against a specific AOS-CX release or switch model, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JL563B and JL563A? Are they interchangeable in the same chassis?

JL563B and JL563A share the same 10GBASE-T SFP+ specification: RJ45, 30 m on Cat6a, 10G only with no 1G fallback. HPE lists them as separate part numbers. EdgeOptic supplies the JL563B EEPROM coding on this page; the JL563A code is on the JL563A compatible page. For chassis that already standardised on JL563A, consult the current Aruba Transceiver Guide for the interoperability statement that applies to your AOS-CX release before mixing A and B revisions in the same switch.

Why do some third-party sites list JL563B at 80 m when HPE says 30 m?

The 80 m figure is a third-party listing error. HPE's official product listing for JL563B at buy.hpe.com confirms 30 m on Cat6a, which matches every IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T SFP+ optic on the market. 10GBASE-T over copper SFP+ is not physically capable of 80 m; that distance belongs to a different module class. Plan cable runs against the authoritative 30 m specification.
