Aruba 25G SFP28 eSR Transceiver

The HPE JL485A is a 25 Gbps SFP28 transceiver designed for short-range connections over multi-mode fibre. It uses an LC duplex connector and supports link distances up to 400 metres. This module suits network upgrades in Aruba and HPE switching environments.

Suited for 25G multi-mode links up to 400m

This transceiver fits deployments that require 25 Gbps connectivity over existing OM3 or OM4 multi-mode cabling within a single data centre or campus building. It is not for single-mode fibre runs, longer reach requirements, or 10 Gbps SFP+ ports that do not support 25G negotiation.

400 metre reach over multi-mode fibre

The 400 metre maximum distance at 25 Gbps determines whether the module covers your intended link length. Verify your cable grade and total channel loss against this limit before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which SFP28 transceiver should I choose for a 25 Gbps link up to 400 metres over multi-mode fibre?

The JL485A is a 25 Gbps SFP28 module with an LC duplex connector rated for 400 metres on multi-mode fibre, making it the correct choice for that distance and speed.

What does the 25 Gbps transfer rate mean once the module is installed in a switch?

The module provides a 25 Gbps full-duplex optical link, so each direction can move up to 25 Gbps simultaneously when paired with a compatible SFP28 port.

What interface standard does the SFP28 form factor cap in practice?

The SFP28 form factor supports 25 Gbps serial electrical interfaces and is limited to the 400 metre reach specified for this multi-mode transceiver.
