HP compatible Q6M30A Description
HPE Q6M30A is the Aruba R-series 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, coded with the HPE-recognized vendor ID block so the optic is accepted on AOS-CX, ArubaOS-S, Comware and ProCurve host switches without vendor-override flags. The module targets the SFP+ uplink cages on HPE Aruba CX 8320, 8325, 8360, 8400, 6300M and 6400 chassis, HPE FlexFabric 5930 and 5940 data center switches, HPE 5700 and 5710 aggregation switches, and HPE FlexNetwork 5130EI campus stacks equipped with the optional JG936A SFP+ uplink module. Within HPE's SR SFP+ catalog, Q6M30A is the Aruba R-series SKU and sits alongside the older J9150A (ProCurve) and JD092B (FlexFabric/Comware) part numbers that share the same optical platform but carry different EEPROM coding.
Optical build follows IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 at 10.3125 Gbps line rate. Transmitter is an 850 nm VCSEL; receiver is an 850 nm PIN photodiode. The minimum link budget is 6.1 dB, which supports 300 m over OM3 and 400 m over OM4, with reduced reach of 82 m over OM2 and 33 m over OM1 for legacy multimode plant. The module uses the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8432) mechanical and electrical interface with a duplex LC connector. DDM/DOM per SFF-8472 exposes Tx power, Rx power, laser bias, module temperature and supply voltage, readable from AOS-CX with show interface transceiver detail and from Comware with display transceiver diagnosis. Commercial operating range is 0 to 70 degrees Celsius.
Typical deployment is 10G uplinks between Aruba CX 6300M stacks and CX 8325 or 8360 aggregation switches over short-reach OM3/OM4 multimode, short FlexFabric leaf-to-spine trunks, and campus-closet to data-center-edge uplinks over pre-installed MMF trunks. Because the EEPROM carries the HPE vendor ID, the module is accepted as a qualified optic in the switch event log, and show tech output will record the expected HPE part-number attribution. For Q6M30A deployments that mix Aruba CX and legacy Comware chassis across a trunk, or for bulk fleet refresh on HPE FlexFabric 5930/5940, please contact our sales team with the host chassis inventory so the order lines up with the correct per-chassis qualification notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which HPE Aruba switches accept Q6M30A?
Q6M30A lands in SFP+ cages on HPE Aruba CX 8320, 8325, 8360, 8400, 6300M and 6400 chassis, HPE FlexFabric 5930 and 5940 data center switches, HPE 5700 and 5710 aggregation platforms, and the FlexNetwork 5130EI campus series with the optional JG936A SFP+ uplink module. The HPE-coded EEPROM is recognized by AOS-CX, ArubaOS-S and Comware.
What reach does Q6M30A deliver over OM3 and OM4 fiber?
The module follows the 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR link budget of 4.6 dB at 10.3125 Gbps. Reach is 300 m over OM3 and 400 m over OM4. Legacy multimode plant supports 82 m over OM2 and 33 m over OM1.
How is Q6M30A different from the older J9150A and JD092B SR SFP+ part numbers?
All three are 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics with the same optical reference. Q6M30A carries HPE Aruba R-series EEPROM, J9150A is ProCurve-coded for ArubaOS-S and JD092B is Comware-coded for FlexFabric. Match the SKU to the host switch OS rather than substituting across the three part numbers.
