SFP28 transceiver module Aruba JL484A

The Aruba JL484A SFP28 transceiver module is a compact optical interface designed for 25 Gbps network links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and is equipped with an LC fiber optic connector. With small dimensions and low weight, the module is suitable for installation in switches, routers and media converters where 25 Gbps short-reach connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module delivers 25 Gbps performance in a small form factor compatible with standard SFP28 ports, providing low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity. Its LC connector and single-mode/ multimode fiber compatibility (as deployed in the network) enable flexible integration into existing fiber infrastructure. The compact dimensions and light weight simplify handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbps uplinks between switches and servers
• High-performance network aggregation and spine-leaf fabrics
• Data center interconnects and virtualization backbones
• Upgrading legacy SFP ports to 25 Gbps-capable links (when supported by equipment)

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 100 m
• Fiber optic connector: LC
• Form factor: SFP28 module
• Dimensions: 56 mm (width) × 13 mm (depth) × 15 mm (height)
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP28-compatible port on a switch, router or media converter following the host device manufacturer’s hot-swap instructions. Ensure the correct fiber type and LC patch cables are used and observe connector cleanliness to prevent signal loss. After insertion, verify link status and configure the port speed and duplex settings on the network device as required for 25 Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your network equipment before deployment, ensure fiber connectors are clean prior to mating, and use appropriate fiber patch cables rated for the specified transfer distance. For optimal performance in data center environments, place transceivers in properly ventilated slots and monitor link status through network management tools.
