FAQ
Which HPE Aruba switch models is this network module compatible with?
This JL081A#0D1 network module is specifically designed for compatibility with HPE Aruba Networking Switches in the 2930M Series and 3810M Series. It integrates seamlessly with these switch platforms to provide additional 10GbE connectivity through their expansion slots. Always verify specific switch model compatibility before deployment, as module support may vary within product series.
What type of optical transceivers can I use with this network module?
The module supports standard 10GBase-X SFP+ optical transceivers that are compatible with HPE Aruba networking equipment. These transceivers must support optical fiber media and operate at 10 Gbit/s data rates. For optimal performance and compatibility, HPE recommends using qualified transceivers from their optics portfolio or verified third-party alternatives that meet the 10GBase-X specification requirements.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by each port?
Each of the four ports on this network module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second) using 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology. This provides full-duplex 10GbE connectivity per port, enabling substantial bandwidth for demanding network applications. The 10GBase-X network technology ensures standardized performance across compatible optical fiber connections.
