HP compatible AJ907A Description
AJ907A is HPE's part number for an 8G Fibre Channel long-wavelength SFP+ transceiver qualified for Cisco MDS 9000 series SAN switches sold through HP's reseller channel. EdgeOptic's compatible replacement is built on our 10G-SFP-10 platform, matching the original optical and electrical specifications. This module serves HP customers who purchase Cisco MDS hardware under HP part numbers as part of consolidated procurement agreements.
HP resells Cisco MDS switches under HP part numbers for enterprise customers who consolidate all data center purchases through a single vendor contract. AJ907A is the HP-branded optic for 8GFC long-wavelength on MDS platforms. This is distinct from AJ717A, which covers the B-series (Brocade-OEM) SAN switches. Confusing the two is a common procurement error: AJ907A targets MDS/Cisco fabric, AJ717A targets B-series/Brocade fabric. While both are 8GFC LW SFP+ modules with identical optical parameters, the EEPROM vendor coding differs to satisfy each platform's transceiver validation logic. SAN administrators managing mixed HP environments with both MDS and B-series switches should verify the target fabric before ordering.
AJ907A supports dual-rate Fibre Channel operation at 4.25 Gbps (4GFC) and 8.5 Gbps (8GFC). Rate negotiation is handled by the MDS switch port configuration. The transceiver uses a 1310 nm DFB laser and PIN photodiode receiver, with launch power of -9.5 to -0.5 dBm and receive sensitivity of -17 dBm or better. Reach is 10 km over G.652 single-mode fiber using duplex LC/UPC connectors. DDM per SFF-8472 reports optical power (Tx and Rx), temperature, bias current, and voltage to the MDS NX-OS management plane.
Primary deployment targets include Cisco MDS 9148S (48-port 16G/8G), MDS 9396S (96-port 16G/8G), and MDS 9706/9710 director-class chassis. In MDS environments sold through HP, the show interface transceiver detail command displays the HP AJ907A part number read from the module EEPROM, alongside standard DDM readings. The dual-rate capability allows the module to serve 8GFC F_Ports to host HBAs and 8GFC E_Ports for ISL connectivity simultaneously within the same fabric, while remaining backward-compatible with 4GFC ports.
EdgeOptic's compatible is coded for MDS platform acceptance under the HP vendor identifier. For MDS SAN refresh projects or mixed-fabric HP environments, contact our sales team
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AJ907A and AJ717A?
AJ907A is HPE's 8GFC LW SFP+ for Cisco MDS 9000 switches (HP-branded Cisco fabric). AJ717A is for B-series SAN switches (HP-branded Brocade fabric). Both are 8GFC LW 1310 nm modules, but their EEPROM is coded for different SAN fabrics. Don't swap them between MDS and B-series platforms.
