Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HPE Aruba JL286A and what are its primary specifications?
The HPE Aruba JL286A is a 40G QSFP+ LC LR4L transceiver designed for long-range single-mode fiber connections up to 2 kilometers. This module is compatible with HPE Aruba networking switches and provides high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data center and enterprise network deployments. We offer this transceiver as part of our comprehensive HPE Aruba networking portfolio available from barcodesinc.com.
What type of fiber connections does the JL286A support?
The JL286A supports LC connector-based single-mode fiber (SM) connections with a maximum transmission distance of 2 kilometers, making it ideal for campus networks and data center interconnections. The LR4L designation indicates it uses long-range optics optimized for extended distances over single-mode fiber. Contact us today for compatibility verification with your specific switch models.
Which HPE Aruba switches are compatible with the JL286A transceiver?
The JL286A is compatible with HPE Aruba switches featuring QSFP+ ports, including models from the 2930F, 6100, and 6300M series that include SFP+ or SFP56 transceiver slots. We recommend verifying your specific switch model's port specifications before ordering. Visit barcodesinc.com or contact our team to confirm compatibility with your equipment.
What are the environmental operating conditions for the JL286A transceiver?
HPE Aruba transceivers like the JL286A are designed to operate in standard data center environments with operating temperatures typically ranging from 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F) depending on the host switch specifications. For detailed environmental specifications and installation requirements, we recommend consulting the product datasheet or contacting us today for technical guidance.
How does the JL286A compare to shorter-range transceiver options?
The JL286A's LR4L specification provides extended 2-kilometer reach over single-mode fiber, making it superior to standard SR (short-range) transceivers that typically support only 300 meters. This makes the JL286A ideal for connecting geographically dispersed data centers or campus locations where longer distances are required. We offer both short and long-range transceiver options to match your network topology needs.
What should I consider when installing the JL286A in my network?
When installing the JL286A, ensure your switch has available QSFP+ ports, verify fiber cable compatibility with LC connectors, and confirm the single-mode fiber infrastructure supports 40G transmission speeds. Proper fiber cleanliness and connector alignment are critical for optimal performance over the 2-kilometer distance.
