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 version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-T multi-vendor 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver. It is the drop-in alternative to the native Avaya AA1403043-E6 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.

Extreme Networks completed its acquisition of Avaya's networking business on 17 July 2017, and the Avaya ERS 4900 and 5900 Series moved under Extreme Networks support. The AA1403043-E6 ordering code continues to circulate as the Avaya-branded SKU for these ERS platforms; the OEM part number remains Avaya 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.

Works on the Avaya ERS 4900 and 5900 Series running VOSS firmware. Verify the specific ERS chassis model and the running VOSS release against the current Extreme Networks pluggable compatibility documentation before deployment, since firmware revision can gate SFP+ recognition and DOM readout on ERS platforms. Because this is a copper module, DOM telemetry is scoped to 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.
