Aruba compatible R9G02A Description
R9G02A is HPE Aruba Networking's ordering code for a 40G QSFP+ BiDi transceiver. EdgeOptic's R9G02A compatible is an Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic BIDI-40G-QSFP-150 multi-vendor 40G BiDi QSFP+ transceiver, matching the 150m reach over OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode fiber through the duplex LC/UPC connector interface of the original ordering code.
The module uses a duplex LC connector over two multimode fibers, with each fiber bidirectional: one wavelength (850nm) in one direction and the other (900nm) in the return direction, so 40G runs over a standard 2-strand duplex MMF patch cord with the same module at both ends. VCSEL transmitters and PIN photodiode receivers cover the two BiDi channels, spanning 832 to 868nm and 882 to 918nm across a combined 36nm bandwidth. Average launch power runs -4 to 5dBm per lane, average receive sensitivity runs -6 to 3dBm per lane, and receiver overload is rated at 3dBm. The average optical link budget is 2dB, and DDM/DOM diagnostics report transmit power, receive power, temperature, and supply voltage in real time.
The underlying hardware also carries OTU3 (43.01Gbps), OTU3e2 (44.58Gbps), and STM-256 (39.81Gbps) framing alongside 40G Ethernet (41.25Gbps) per IEEE 802.3ba. HPE Aruba Networking switching platforms terminate Ethernet framing only, so the practical application scope for the R9G02A on Aruba hardware is 40G Ethernet.
Operating temperature is rated 0 to 70C, and the module carries IEEE 802.3ba, CE, FDA Class 1, IEC 60825-1, INF-8438i, QSFP+ MSA, RoHS, and SFF-8436 compliance.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the R9G02A compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For volume pricing or an alternate vendor coding, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HPE Aruba Networking R9G02A the same product as the JL308A?
HPE's own product listing for R9G02A carries the same product title used for the JL308A, HPE Aruba Networking 40G QSFP+ LC Bidirectional 150m MMF 2-strand Transceiver, and cross-references the JL308A SKU on the same page. R9G02A is HPE's newer ordering code for that same 40G BiDi QSFP+ 150m product line based on this HPE listing. Confirm the exact cross-reference with the HPE Aruba Networking account team before matching it against an existing JL308A deployment.
Which HPE Aruba Networking switches accept the R9G02A?
R9G02A is a 40G QSFP+ port optic built for HPE Aruba Networking switching platforms with 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks. Confirm the exact switch model and firmware release against HPE Aruba Networking's official transceiver support documentation before ordering, since platform-level optics support varies by chassis and software version.
