Dell (Force10) compatible A9066711 Description
EdgeOptic's A9066711 compatible is a Dell-coded 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver built as a direct replacement for the Dell A9066711. It ships with Dell-recognized EEPROM so Dell PowerEdge iDRAC and Dell EMC storage chassis firmware identify the optic as a native Dell part, and the link-partner adapter or switch reads the module through standard SFF-8472 access.
Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multi-mode fiber: 100m on OM4 or OM5, 70m on OM3. Line signaling rate is 25.78125 Gbd, with dual-rate support from 8.5 to 25.78 Gbps for 10GBASE-SR downshift. Transmit power is -8.4 to +2.4 dBm, receive sensitivity -10.3 dBm, link budget 5.3 dB with host RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108. Duplex LC/UPC, DOM per SFF-8472, 0.3W typical power. Operating case temperature is 0 to 70 degrees Celsius.
A9066711 is the Dell part number for the 25GbE SFP28 SR transceiver shipped with PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC storage systems that carry Mellanox ConnectX network adapters. It is the Dell procurement path for the physical SFP28 optic installed alongside ConnectX-4 Lx and ConnectX-5 adapter configurations. If a purchase order or a service contract references A9066711, this is the Dell OPN to reorder against; Dell support, spares inventory and asset-management systems key off the A9066711 part number for the server-side 25G optic in a ConnectX-adapter build.
A9066711 is Dell's ordering part number for the same 25GBASE-SR SFP28 optical module that Mellanox catalogues as MMA2P00-AS. The two part numbers reflect separate procurement channels (Dell versus Mellanox/NVIDIA) for the same physical optic. Buyers whose quote or service contract specifies A9066711 should reorder A9066711; buyers whose quote specifies the Mellanox catalogue SKU should reorder against that catalogue entry.
Platform scope for A9066711 is the Dell PowerEdge R-series rack servers (R7515, R7525, R750xa, R750 and later generations that carry ConnectX adapter options) and the Dell EMC storage range that uses Mellanox ConnectX adapters. At the adapter silicon level, A9066711 is ordered against ConnectX-4 Lx and ConnectX-5 dual-port 25GbE cards. For the exact PowerEdge-chassis-to-adapter matrix or the specific Dell EMC storage model-to-adapter matrix at your configuration, verify against the Dell configuration guide for the chassis.
DOM registers for transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, laser bias and module temperature are exposed through SFF-8472 and accessible via iDRAC networking telemetry, via the Mellanox ConnectX driver stack (mlxlink on Linux), and via standard ethtool output on Linux hosts. Every unit is factory-tested to the 25GBASE-SR optical specification per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 before dispatch.
If your Dell quote specifies A9066711 as the line-item 25GbE SFP28 OPN, this is the correct page for the EdgeOptic compatible. The Mellanox catalogue equivalent is documented on a separate EdgeOptic product page. For volume pricing, a pre-sales sample on a specific PowerEdge or Dell EMC chassis, or for cross-reference between Dell and Mellanox procurement routing, contact our sales team and we will respond within one business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dell A9066711 and which physical optical module does it correspond to?
A9066711 is Dell's ordering part number for the 25GbE SFP28 SR transceiver installed in PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC storage systems that ship with Mellanox ConnectX adapters. The physical optical specification is the Mellanox MMA2P00-AS module. When Dell ships a ConnectX-adapter build through the Dell procurement channel, the SFP28 optic carries the A9066711 Dell OPN so that Dell asset management, service contracts and spares inventory key off a Dell part number. On the optical layer both part numbers are 25GBASE-SR SFP28 per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112.
Should I order A9066711 or MMA2P00-AS when sourcing a replacement?
Match the original procurement path. If the host was originally purchased directly from Mellanox or NVIDIA, reorder the Mellanox catalogue SKU; if the host was purchased through Dell, reorder A9066711. Asset-management and service-contract records are typically keyed to the original OPN, so maintaining the same procurement path avoids spares reconciliation work.
Which Dell PowerEdge chassis and Mellanox adapter combinations does A9066711 support?
A9066711 is ordered with PowerEdge R-series rack servers and Dell EMC storage systems that carry Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx and ConnectX-5 25GbE adapters. The R7515, R7525, R750xa and R750 generations are typical PowerEdge chassis at the current generation; earlier R-series generations cover the ConnectX-4 Lx era. For the exact PowerEdge-chassis-to-adapter matrix at your specific configuration, verify against the Dell PowerEdge configuration guide for the chassis; EdgeOptic can supply a sample for pre-deployment qualification.
Does the EdgeOptic A9066711 compatible work on Dell PowerSwitch or non-Dell 25G switch ports?
Optically the module meets 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 and works in any compliant SFP28 port. Dell's intended procurement path for PowerSwitch 25G ports is the 407-BBXU No FEC or SFP28-25G-SR switch-native OPN rather than A9066711; using the server-side A9066711 in a switch port does not break the link but can complicate Dell ProSupport cases that key off the switch-port asset tag. For pure PowerSwitch deployments, the cleaner ordering path is the EdgeOptic-compatible 407-BBXU or SFP28-25G-SR.
