HP compatible Q6M30A Description
EdgeOptic's Q6M30A compatible is an HPE Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The HPE EEPROM identifies the optic as a recognized accessory on Aruba CX and FlexFabric platforms, so the switch accepts the module without an unsupported-transceiver warning. One universal SR platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this M-Series variant. HPE catalogs Q6M30A under the M-Series 10GbE SFP-SR line; spare PN 880972-001.
Optical specifications, 10GBASE-SR class with 1000BASE-SX dual-rate capability. 850 nm VCSEL, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. Multi-rate scope spans 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps. DDM/DOM is accessible through HPE AOS-CX and Comware switch management interfaces. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ae, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.
Q6M30A is the HPE part number routed through the Aruba M-Series catalog for the SFP+ ports on HPE Aruba CX core and aggregation switches and on FlexFabric and FlexNetwork campus platforms running AOS-CX or Comware. Verify the exact switch model and software release against the HPE Aruba transceiver compatibility guide at quote stage, since the M-Series PN list moves across firmware generations.
HPE has shipped 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics under several era-specific part numbers as the Aruba and FlexFabric platforms consolidated. J9150A is the ProCurve-era code, JD092B is the Comware/FlexFabric-era code, and Q6M30A is the current M-Series Aruba code. All three share the same optical specification, but the EEPROM identifiers differ. Order the part number that matches the switch's software identity rather than substituting across the eras.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which HPE Aruba switches accept Q6M30A?
HPE Aruba lists Q6M30A as the qualified 10GBASE-SR SFP+ across HPE Aruba CX core and aggregation switches, FlexFabric campus aggregation, and FlexNetwork campus access platforms running AOS-CX or Comware. Verify the exact switch model and software release against the HPE Aruba transceiver compatibility guide before ordering, since the M-Series PN list moves across firmware generations.
How is Q6M30A different from the older J9150A and JD092B SR SFP+ part numbers?
All three carry the same 10GBASE-SR optical specification at 850 nm with 300 m OM3 reach, but the EEPROM coding is different. J9150A is the ProCurve-era code, JD092B is the Comware/FlexFabric-era code, and Q6M30A is the current Aruba M-Series code. The platform the BOM targets dictates which suffix is qualified, since each switch software train looks for the EEPROM identifier that matches its catalog history.
