Dell (Force10) compatible A9066711 Description
EdgeOptic's A9066711 compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-100 multi-vendor 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver, a direct replacement for the Dell A9066711 SFP28 25GbE SR optic. It ships with Dell-recognized EEPROM so Dell PowerEdge servers, Dell EMC storage controllers and iDRAC firmware identify the optic as a native Dell part, and the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx and ConnectX-5 adapters the module is paired with read it through standard SFF-8472 access.
Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multimode fiber: 100 m on OM4 or OM5, 70 m on OM3. Line signaling rate is 25.78125 Gbd, with dual-rate operation supporting 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbd on mixed-speed deployments. TX power −5 dBm minimum and +2.4 dBm maximum, RX sensitivity −10.3 dBm, 5.3 dB link budget with host RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 RS(528,514). Duplex LC/UPC connector, DOM per SFF-8472, 0.3 W maximum, 0 to 70 °C commercial operating range.
A9066711 is Dell's ordering part number for the same 25GBASE-SR SFP28 physical module that Mellanox (now NVIDIA Networking) catalogs as MMA2P00-AS. Dell's product page for A9066711 lists both part numbers on the same page, confirming the procurement-channel relationship. Engineers seeing both SKUs quoted should match the ordering code to the original procurement path: A9066711 against the Dell server SKU, MMA2P00-AS against the Mellanox/NVIDIA catalog.
Platform scope is the Dell PowerEdge R-series rack server family and Dell EMC storage controllers configured with Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx or ConnectX-5 25GbE adapters. For switch-side procurement on Dell PowerSwitch ports, the Dell-native ordering paths are 407-BBXU (Dell Networking 25GbE SR No FEC) and SFP28-25G-SR on OS10 platforms; A9066711 sits in the server-NIC path. Verify the chassis-to-adapter qualification against the Dell PowerEdge configuration guide and Dell EMC compatibility matrix for the generation you are deploying.
DOM registers for transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, laser bias and module case temperature are exposed through SFF-8472 and accessible via iDRAC storage and networking telemetry, and via the Mellanox ConnectX driver utilities (mlxlink on Linux) or standard ethtool output on Linux hosts. Windows host DOM access depends on the installed Mellanox/NVIDIA driver version. The optic meets the 25GBASE-SR optical specification per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions about A9066711
What is Dell A9066711 and which physical optical module does it correspond to?
A9066711 is Dell's ordering part number for the Mellanox MMA2P00-AS SFP28 transceiver, a 25GBASE-SR module at 850 nm rated for 100 m on OM4 multimode fiber. Dell's own product page for A9066711 carries the title 'Mellanox MMA2P00-AS SFP28 transceiver module' and lists both part numbers on the same page. The two ordering codes route through different procurement channels (A9066711 against the Dell server SKU, MMA2P00-AS against the Mellanox/NVIDIA catalog), but the physical module is the same.
Should I order A9066711 or MMA2P00-AS when sourcing a replacement?
Match the original procurement path. If the chassis was ordered through Dell with the Mellanox ConnectX adapter option, the asset record carries A9066711 and Dell ProSupport cases key off that part number, so order A9066711. If the replacement is going into a build that originally referenced the Mellanox catalog code, order the MMA2P00-AS path. Both EdgeOptic pages ship the same 25GBASE-SR SFP28 physical module coded for the matching procurement path.
Does the EdgeOptic A9066711 compatible work on Dell PowerSwitch or non-Dell 25G switch ports?
Optically yes, since A9066711 is the same 25GBASE-SR SFP28 specification used across the family. For Dell PowerSwitch port-side procurement, the Dell-native ordering codes are 407-BBXU (No FEC) or SFP28-25G-SR on OS10 platforms, and Dell ProSupport keys off those codes for switch-side assets. A9066711 is the server-NIC procurement code paired with Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx and ConnectX-5 adapters. For non-Dell 25G switch ports, the EEPROM is Dell-coded and the optic operates within the 25GBASE-SR specification, but verify the host-side EEPROM acceptance policy on the target switch before deployment.
