Aruba compatible R0Z30A Description
EdgeOptic's R0Z30A compatible is an HPE Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 multi-vendor 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 transceiver. It supports 2 km links on G.652 single-mode fiber across the CWDM4 MSA wavelength grid at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm, with four parallel lanes aggregated to a 100 Gb/s line rate over a duplex LC connection. The optical front end uses DML transmitters and PIN receivers with NRZ modulation per CWDM4 lane, and host-side FEC is handled per the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported, and the module operates across the 0 to 70 degrees Celsius commercial temperature range. It conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8636 and SFF-8665), the 100G CWDM4 MSA, the 100G CLR4 Alliance specification and the ITU-T G.694.2 CWDM wavelength grid.
Works on HPE Aruba Networking CX campus switches with QSFP28 ports supporting CWDM4 optics under ArubaOS-CX. The supported chassis families and minimum AOS-CX firmware vary across the catalog; verify against the HPE Aruba AOS-CX Transceiver Guide or the HPE Aruba compatibility matrix for the specific platform under consideration. The EdgeOptic R0Z30A compatible carries the HPE Aruba EEPROM identifier, so AOS-CX recognizes the module as a supported HPE Aruba transceiver and brings the port up without the global allow-unsupported-transceiver configuration. For deployment validation on a specific HPE Aruba CX chassis, contact our sales team.
At the root spec level, the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1V2 module is qualified for triple-rate operation across 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 4 by 32G Fibre Channel and OTU4 transport. HPE Aruba CX campus switches use the 100GE rate only; 32G Fibre Channel and OTU4 transport sit outside the ArubaOS-CX platform scope. For 32G Fibre Channel or OTU4 deployments on alternative host platforms, contact our sales team.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
Common questions
Does the EdgeOptic R0Z30A compatible work on HPE Aruba CX switches without the allow-unsupported-transceiver setting?
Yes. The EdgeOptic R0Z30A compatible carries an HPE Aruba EEPROM identifier, so HPE Aruba CX switches recognize the module as a supported Aruba transceiver and bring the port up without requiring the global allow-unsupported-transceiver configuration. Third-party QSFP28 modules that do not present an HPE Aruba EEPROM commonly report an unsupported transceiver status under AOS-CX and require operator action to come online; the EdgeOptic compatible avoids that path because the EEPROM identity is recognized natively.
Which HPE Aruba CX switch families accept the R0Z30A QSFP28 100G CWDM4 transceiver?
The HPE Aruba AOS-CX Transceiver Guide lists R0Z30A coverage by CX chassis series and AOS-CX firmware release, and that mapping is the authoritative reference for any specific deployment under consideration. Coverage varies across the AOS-CX catalog, and not every QSFP28 port on every CX chassis is in scope for the R0Z30A part number. For the chassis-and-firmware combination relevant to a planned deployment, consult the HPE Aruba AOS-CX Transceiver Guide or the HPE Aruba compatibility matrix, or contact our sales team.
