Oracle compatible X2129A-N Description
Oracle X2129A-N is a Sun Microsystems / Oracle part number for a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. Oracle inherited the X-prefix SKU convention from the Sun product line after the 2010 acquisition, so this module ships against orders for SPARC T-series servers, Netra carrier-grade servers, and Sun ZFS Storage Appliance controllers that use Oracle's Quad 10GbE PCIe Low Profile Adapter (part number X1109A-Z) or the dual-port 10GbE XAUI network cards in M-series SPARC chassis.
The X2129A-N is also used in Oracle Exadata Database Machine client-access networks and in Exalogic Elastic Cloud engineered-system racks for short-reach 10GbE server-to-switch links inside the rack. On Solaris 11 hosts, the ixgbe driver reports the module through dladm show-phys and fmadm faulty, and Oracle ILOM surfaces SFP+ inventory and DDM readings on ZFS Storage and SPARC service processors. EdgeOptic's compatible is coded against the Oracle OUI and vendor PN strings the ILOM inventory expects, so port LEDs come up green and the module is not flagged as unsupported.
Optical specifications follow IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR. An 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver deliver a minimum 6.1 dB link budget, giving 300 m over OM3 multimode and 400 m over OM4 with LC/UPC duplex connectors. The module operates at 10.3125 Gbps line rate and supports 1.25 Gbps host rate on platforms configured for dual-rate SFP+ ports. DDM per SFF-8472 exposes temperature, supply voltage, laser bias, Tx power, and Rx power, readable through Oracle ILOM and Solaris dladm show-ether.
Related Oracle / Sun SR part numbers include X2129A (the original Sun variant without the -N revision), X1109A-Z (the PCIe adapter that hosts these optics), and SFP-10GE-SR when ordered through Oracle Networking instead of Sun Systems channels. If the deployment is a Cisco Nexus or Arista fabric feeding an Oracle compute rack, swap to EdgeOptic's Cisco SFP-10G-SR or Arista SFP-10G-SR compatibles on the switch side and keep the X2129A-N on the server NIC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the X2129A-N be recognized by Oracle ILOM and Solaris dladm on ZFS Storage and SPARC systems?
Yes. EdgeOptic's compatible X2129A-N is coded with Oracle / Sun vendor identifiers, so the SFP+ inventory appears correctly in ILOM show /SYS/MB and Solaris dladm show-phys lists the ixgbe port with 10-Gbps link state. No fault manager alerts or unsupported-transceiver messages are generated under normal link conditions.
How does X2129A-N differ from Oracle SFP-10GE-SR?
They are the same optical specification (10GBASE-SR, 850 nm VCSEL, 300 m OM3). The SKU difference reflects the Oracle ordering channel: X2129A-N is the Sun-legacy part number used when ordering Quad 10GbE PCIe adapters for SPARC, Netra, and ZFS Storage through Oracle Systems, while SFP-10GE-SR is the Oracle Networking SKU used with Oracle Switch ES2-72 / ES2-64 and the InfiniBand gateway products.
Does the module work on an Oracle Exadata or Exalogic client network?
Yes for the client-access 10GbE ports on Exadata compute nodes and Exalogic compute servers that use Oracle Quad 10GbE PCIe Low Profile Adapters. The InfiniBand fabric between Exadata nodes uses CX4 / QSFP InfiniBand cabling, not SFP+, so X2129A-N does not apply there. Confirm the NIC model before ordering if the deployment mixes engineered-system and standalone hardware.
