Aruba compatible R9F82A Description
Aruba has released multiple 10GBASE-SR SFP+ part numbers over the years as platform generations and procurement systems evolved. R9F82A belongs to the current HPE Aruba Networking V2 optics catalog and is the recommended SR transceiver for Aruba CX platforms running AOS-CX firmware. Earlier part numbers for the same optical specification include J9150A (ProCurve era, used on 5400/3800 chassis), J9150D (Aruba Instant On and pre-CX platforms), R9D18A, JM535A, and JW091A. R9F82A is the current HPE Aruba Networking V2 optics catalog SKU and holds current qualification matrix entries for CX 6200, 6300, 6400, 8325, 8360, and 8400 series switches. In HPE's ordering system, the R9F82A replaces J9150D as the standard 10GBASE-SR SFP+ line item for new CX deployments.
EdgeOptic's compatible R9F82A matches the original optical parameters: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, LC duplex connector, minimum 6.1 dB link budget, 300 m reach on OM3 multimode fiber or 400 m on OM4 and above. The module conforms to IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR and the SFF-8431/8432 SFP+ MSA. Supported data rates range from 1.25 to 10.3125 Gbps, covering both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet in dual-rate configuration. DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) provides real-time readouts of TX optical power, RX optical power, laser bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage through the standardized I2C diagnostic interface.
AOS-CX validates transceiver EEPROM at port initialization and logs warnings for unrecognized vendor codes, which can trigger monitoring alerts in Aruba Central. EdgeOptic programs Aruba-recognized EEPROM data into each R9F82A compatible, so the CX switch accepts the module without transceiver-override CLI commands and without generating false alarms in the management plane. DDM alarm and warning thresholds appear in the standard 'show interface transceiver' output on AOS-CX, matching the behavior of original Aruba optics. TX and RX power readings, laser bias, temperature, and voltage are all reported in the same format as the original R9F82A. For legacy Aruba platforms running ArubaOS (non-CX), the same compatible module also functions correctly because SFP+ EEPROM validation on those platforms follows the same vendor-ID check.
CE/RoHS certified and compliant with the SFF-8432 MSA standard. EdgeOptic validates each R9F82A unit against current AOS-CX firmware releases on CX 6300 and CX 8325 reference platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Aruba R9F82A, J9150D, and J9150A?
All three are 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceivers with identical optical specifications (850 nm, 300 m OM3, 6.1 dB budget). J9150A is the legacy ProCurve-era part number, J9150D is the Aruba-branded replacement that preceded the CX platform line, and R9F82A is the current HPE Aruba Networking V2 optics SKU with updated qualification matrix entries for CX 6300/6400/8325/8360/8400.
Does the R9F82A require a transceiver-override command on AOS-CX?
EdgeOptic's compatible R9F82A is programmed with Aruba-recognized EEPROM data. AOS-CX accepts it at port initialization without requiring any transceiver-override CLI configuration. DDM thresholds and module identification appear normally in 'show interface transceiver' output.
