HPE JL309A Aruba X151 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 MMF switch module

SKU CH-PGFH-TG5YJ MPN JL309A

Connects Aruba 8400X switches with 100GBase-SR4 over multi-mode fibre using an MPO interface

  • 100 Gbps throughput for high-density optical networks via 100GBase-SR4
  • Multi-mode fibre support extends reach inside data-centre racks
  • Single MPO connector simplifies cabling for 100G links
  • Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor enables tool-less upgrades
  • Validated for Aruba 8400X switch series compatibility

100G QSFP28 SR4 transceiver

The HPE JL309A Aruba X151 is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module designed for optical networking. It uses a QSFP28 form factor with an MPO connector to support 100GBase-SR4 transmission over multi-mode fiber. The module is built for data networking applications requiring high-density, short-reach connectivity. It operates as a hot-pluggable component within compatible network equipment.

Suited for Aruba 8400X uplinks.

This module suits network engineers expanding capacity on Aruba 8400X switch series hardware where 100G multi-mode links are specified. It addresses the need for short-range interconnects between switches or to servers in a data centre environment. Buyers who need long-distance single-mode connectivity or compatibility with non-Aruba platforms should look at other transceivers. The MPO interface also requires matching multi-mode patch cables and cassette infrastructure.

MPO multi-mode interface defines reach

The single specification that decides fit is the 100GBase-SR4 standard over multi-mode fiber via an MPO connector. This combination fixes the operational reach to typical SR4 distances and requires multi-mode cabling throughout the link. If the planned link exceeds multi-mode reach limits or the installed cabling is single-mode, this module will not function correctly. Verify the fiber plant and distance before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the JL309A 100G QSFP28 module draw when running continuously?

The module operates at 100 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over multi-mode fiber using an MPO connector; specific power-draw figures are not supplied.

Which switch chassis must I already have for this JL309A transceiver to function?

It is compatible with the Aruba 8400X Switch Series, so that chassis must be present.

Will this SR4 transceiver link with my older 40G QSFP+ ports on the same rack?

The module uses 100GBase-SR4 over multi-mode fiber with an MPO interface, which differs from 40G QSFP+ signalling and connector types.
