Avaya AA1403043-E6 Compatible 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver for ERS 4900 and 5900 Series

EdgeOptic's Avaya AA1403043-E6 compatible is an Avaya-coded 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver for Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 4900 and 5900 Series chassis with SFP+ ports. EdgeOptic programs the module EEPROM to match the Avaya AA1403043-E6 vendor profile so the transceiver is accepted by ERS switch inventory on platforms that reference this ordering code. The part is the drop-in alternative to the native Avaya AA1403043-E6 on equipment that carries this SKU in its transceiver compatibility documentation.

Extreme Networks acquired Avaya's networking business in 2017, and the Avaya ERS 4900 and 5900 Series are now maintained under Extreme Networks. The AA1403043-E6 ordering code continues to be referenced in Extreme Networks pluggable documentation for these ERS platforms. Customers with installed Avaya ERS infrastructure retain a continuous support path for this SKU under the post-acquisition Extreme Networks lineage. The OEM part number remains Avaya-branded even where the support contract and firmware updates now flow through Extreme Networks.

The transceiver operates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T, with 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T under IEEE 802.3bz and 1000BASE-T fallback under IEEE 802.3ab where the ERS port firmware negotiates those rates. Reach is up to 30 m at 10G on Cat6a or Cat7 copper. Electrical and management interfaces follow SFF-8431 and SFF-8432, the governing MSAs for SFP+ class copper modules. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C commercial grade with CE and RoHS certification. Copper 10GBASE-T modules draw more power than a fibre SFP+ and require a high-power SFP+ cage, which Avaya ERS 4900 and 5900 Series SFP+ ports provide.

Confirmed platform support covers the Avaya ERS 4900 Series (4926GTS, 4950GTS, 4926GTS-PWR+) and ERS 5900 Series (5928GTS-PWR, 5950GTS). These chassis originally ran Avaya VOSS and the legacy PSOS/ERS firmware; current releases are maintained by Extreme Networks under the same VOSS lineage. Because this is a copper module, DOM telemetry is scoped to the fields that apply to a non-optical SFP+: case temperature, supply voltage, and link status. Transmit optical power, receive optical power and laser bias current do not exist on this part and are not reported. Verify the running VOSS release against the current Extreme Networks pluggable compatibility documentation for the target ERS model before deployment, since firmware version can gate SFP+ diagnostic readout on ERS 5900 Series.
