100GBASE-FR QSFP28 Transceiver

The Axiom R9B63A-AX is a QSFP28 transceiver designed for 100GBASE-FR links over G.652 single-mode fibre. It targets network engineers upgrading Aruba switches and routers that require a 2km reach at 1310nm wavelength. The module arrives pre-coded for immediate recognition by the host platform.

Hot-plug installation with DOM

The QSFP28 form factor supports hot insertion so the link can be added without powering down the chassis. Digital Optical Monitoring is enabled, giving real-time access to temperature, voltage and optical power readings. Misalignment of the LC duplex connector is the most common cause of initial link failure.

Verify port coding and fibre plant

Confirm the switch port accepts third-party modules coded for the Aruba R9B63A part number before ordering. Ensure the patch path uses G.652 single-mode fibre with LC duplex terminations and that the total link loss stays within the 2km budget. The operating range is 0°C to 70°C.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the R9B63A-AX is operating correctly after installation?

Check the Digital Optical Monitoring data in your switch management interface; it reports real-time Tx/Rx power at 1310nm and temperature, which should stay within the 0°C to 70°C range.

What ships with the R9B63A-AX and what must I purchase separately?

The transceiver module itself is supplied; you will need to source G.652 single-mode patch cords with LC duplex connectors to complete the 2km link.

Which version of the 100GBASE-FR QSFP28 should I choose for a 2km single-mode run?

This R9B63A-AX model is built for exactly that scenario — 100GBASE-FR over G.652 SMF up to 2km at 1310nm — so select this part when those distance and fibre parameters match your design.
