HP compatible AP783A Description
EdgeOptic's 10G-SFP-300 compatible is an HPE-coded 10GBASE-SR SFP+ that replaces the AP783A in BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. The AP783A part number belongs to HPE's C-series blade portfolio, where it serves the Virtual Connect FlexFabric and FlexConnect 10Gb modules inside c7000 and Synergy frames. EdgeOptic programs the EEPROM with HPE-recognized vendor data, so the module identifies correctly in Virtual Connect Manager and Onboard Administrator without manual overrides. Optical parameters: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, 10.3125 Gbps line rate, 6.1 dB link budget, 300 m over OM3 and 400 m over OM4 multimode fibre. DDM/DOM telemetry reports real-time TX power, RX power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. The module conforms to IEEE 802.3ae for 10GBASE-SR and supports the SFP+ electrical interface per SFF-8431. Blade administrators managing multi-enclosure deployments can monitor all AP783A optics through a single Virtual Connect Manager instance.
The AP783A is distinct from HPE's ProCurve/Aruba-branded SR modules (J9150A, J9150D) and from the ProLiant server SFP+ modules (455883-B21, 455885-B21). Each of those SKUs carries a different EEPROM vendor code and targets a different hardware family. Mixing part numbers across families can trigger compatibility warnings in the management interface, so matching the correct SKU to the enclosure type matters. Within a c7000 enclosure, AP783A modules populate the uplink bays of Virtual Connect interconnect modules, providing 10GbE fabric connectivity from the enclosure to the upstream LAN or SAN infrastructure. Verify AP783A compatibility with Synergy Virtual Connect SE modules from HPE QuickSpecs before deploying outside c7000. The 10G-SFP-300 chipset supports dual-rate operation from 1.25 to 10.31 Gbps, covering 10GbE, Gigabit Ethernet, and STM-64 depending on port configuration. LC duplex connector, 0 to 70 C operating range.
EdgeOptic tests every AP783A compatible against current Virtual Connect firmware releases and validates EEPROM fields against the c-Class vendor ID requirements. Each module passes optical power measurement, connector inspection, and EEPROM data verification before shipment. The module is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431/SFF-8432).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AP783A the same module as the 455883-B21 or J9150A?
No. The AP783A is HPE's C-series blade SFP+ for Virtual Connect modules in c7000 and Synergy enclosures. The 455883-B21 targets ProLiant servers (different EEPROM vendor ID), and J9150A/J9150D targets Aruba/ProCurve switches. Each SKU carries distinct firmware recognition codes, so ordering the correct part number for the target platform avoids compatibility warnings.
Does this compatible AP783A work with Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port modules?
Yes. EdgeOptic codes the 10G-SFP-300 compatible with HPE C-series EEPROM data, so Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port and FlexFabric 20/40 F8 modules accept it without unsupported-transceiver errors. The module reports correctly in Virtual Connect Manager and Onboard Administrator.
