Aruba X141 40G QSFP+ BiDi Transceiver
This Aruba X141 module provides a single 40G QSFP+ port with LC connectors for bidirectional transmission over multi-mode fibre. It supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 150 metres in optical and data networking environments. The transceiver is designed for the Aruba 8400X Switch Series.
Hot-pluggable QSFP+ installation
The module inserts directly into a compatible QSFP+ cage without tools or power cycling the switch. Alignment is critical; the LC connector key must match the port orientation to avoid damaging the ferrule. Dust caps should stay fitted until the fibre patch cord is ready to connect.
Verify switch series and fibre type
Confirm the target chassis is an Aruba 8400X Switch Series before ordering, as compatibility is limited to that platform. Ensure the existing cabling plant uses multi-mode fibre with LC duplex connectors rated for the required distance. Check that the link budget matches the 150 metre reach specification.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the X141 module is operating correctly after inserting it into my Aruba 8400X switch?
The switch management interface will show a 40G link on the QSFP+ port with the LC BiDi transceiver detected and no receive or transmit errors.
What comes with the JL308A module and what must I purchase separately?
The X141 transceiver is supplied alone; you must buy a duplex LC multi-mode fibre patch cord rated for 150 m separately.
Which version of this 40G BiDi transceiver should I select for a 150 m multi-mode run?
Choose the JL308A X141 model, which is specified for 150 m over multi-mode fibre and is compatible with the Aruba 8400X Switch Series.
