HPE Aruba EdgeConnect JM532A (EC-SFP28-25G-LR) Compatible 25GBASE-LR SFP28 10 km

EdgeOptic's JM532A compatible is an HPE Aruba EdgeConnect-coded dual-rate 10G/25G LR SFP28 transceiver and the HPE Aruba EdgeConnect-coded variant of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-10 multi-vendor 25GBASE-LR catalog. HPE catalogs JM532A as the HPE Aruba Networking EC-SFP28-25G-LR Single Mode SFP28, an HPE Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN gateway transceiver in the JM-prefix product line. JM532A is distinct from JL-prefix Aruba CX campus switching transceivers and targets HPE Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN gateway platforms rather than ArubaOS-CX switches. The optic carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10.31 Gbps) and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25.78 Gbps) over a single G.652 SMF pair at 1310 nm, terminated with a duplex LC/UPC connector.

The transmitter is a DML driving the 1310 nm LC duplex; the receiver is a PIN photodiode. Optical specifications: TX output power −7 to +2 dBm, RX sensitivity −12 dBm, RX overload +3 dBm, minimum extinction ratio 3.5 dB, and a 5 dB optical link budget over the 10 km specified reach on G.652 SMF. Real reach on a long link is loss-limited by installed fiber attenuation, splice loss, and connector loss, so on spans above 8 km calculate end-to-end insertion loss against the 5 dB budget rather than the nominal 10 km figure. The module operates 0 to 70 °C on a +3.3 V single supply with 1.2 W maximum power consumption.

At 25G operation the host MAC performs RS(528,514) RS-FEC; the module itself has no built-in FEC. HPE Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN gateways configure FEC per port and per platform, and behavior varies across EdgeConnect software releases. The FEC mode must agree on both link partners or the link comes up down without optical errors, so verify the per-interface FEC configuration on both ends before commissioning. At 10G operation the optic behaves as a standard 10GBASE-LR module and host-side FEC is not required, but the host port must support dual-rate selection between 10G and 25G on its SFP28 cage. DDM diagnostics report TX power, RX power, module temperature, laser bias, and supply voltage in real time per SFF-8472.

The module ships with HPE Aruba EdgeConnect-recognized EEPROM coding for clean registration on EdgeConnect SD-WAN gateways. JM532A targets HPE Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN gateway 25G SFP28 cages. Verify the specific EdgeConnect gateway model and EdgeConnect software release against the HPE Aruba EdgeConnect Hardware Reference Guide on arubanetworking.hpe.com before ordering, because per-platform support coverage changes between EdgeConnect software releases. Engineers should not substitute JM532A into ArubaOS-CX campus switches: Aruba CX 25G SFP28 deployments require a JL-prefix part such as JL486A (HPE Aruba Networking 25G SFP28 LC LR 10km SMF Transceiver). The two SKUs share an optical spec but target different HPE product lines, and ordering by the wrong prefix is the most common deployment mistake on this part. Typical applications: 25G SD-WAN underlay uplinks on EdgeConnect Enterprise gateways at branch and hub sites. Conforms to IEEE 802.3cc, SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472, and the SFP28 MSA.
