SFP-25G-LR Optical Transceiver – 100% Compatible with HPE Aruba JL486A (25GBASE-LR SFP28)Product Overview
The SFP-25G-LR is a high-performance 25G SFP28 optical transceiver designed as a direct replacement for the HPE Aruba JL486A original module. It supports the 25GBASE-LR standard and delivers data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) at distances up to 10 kilometers using a 1310nm wavelength and LC duplex connector .
The module is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3cc, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8431, and SFF-8472 standards. It supports DOM/DDM digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, and optical power levels . It also supports CPRI and eCPRI protocols, making it ideal for 5G fronthaul, data center, and enterprise network upgrade applications .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can this module replace the HPE Aruba JL486A?
A: Yes. This module is 100% compatible with HPE Aruba JL486A. It is plug-and-play in HPE Aruba switches that support JL486A, with performance identical to the original module .
Q2: What is the maximum transmission distance?
A: Up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (OS2/G.652) .
Q3: What type of fiber is required?
A: Single-mode fiber (SMF) with LC duplex connectors is required. Multimode fiber is not supported .
Q4: Does this module support DDM/DOM monitoring?
A: Yes. The module provides Digital Diagnostic Monitoring for real-time reading of temperature, voltage, and transmit/receive optical power .
Q5: What is the power consumption?
A: Typical power consumption is < 1.2W .
Q6: Can this module be used in a 10G port?
A: SFP28 modules are physically compatible with SFP+ ports but will typically operate at 10G speeds, depending on whether the switch supports automatic downshifting.
Q7: Will using a compatible module void my HPE warranty?
A: No. Installing a third-party compatible transceiver does not void your network equipment warranty .
Q8: What is the operating temperature range?
A: Commercial grade: 0°C to 70°C. Industrial grade versions (-40°C to 85°C) are available upon request .
