Aruba 10G SFP+ LC LRM 220m OM2 MMF Transceiver

Overview

The Aruba J9152D is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceiver designed to extend or build fiber optic links within data centers, server rooms, and office wiring closets. It supports OM2 multimode fiber with a reach of up to 220 meters, enabling high-speed connections between switches across nearby racks, floors, or adjacent rooms without the need for more expensive long-haul optics. Its compact and lightweight design helps maintain high port density and tidy cable management in dense network environments.

Key features

• Provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for fast and reliable data transmission.
• Operates over OM2 multimode fiber, supporting distances up to 220 meters to cover typical intra-building runs.
• Uses an LC interface that ensures secure fiber connections and maintains signal integrity.
• Fits into any standard SFP+ slot, allowing quick, tool-free installation and easy upgrades.
• Engineered for seamless integration with Aruba switches, including the 2530 series, while remaining compatible with other SFP+-compliant devices.
• Compact form factor conserves valuable rack space and supports clean cable management.
• Plug-in module design enables effortless replacement or future scalability without disrupting network operations.
• Lightweight construction at approximately 20 grams reduces strain on switch ports and cabling.

Key specs

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet

• Maximum reach: 220 meters
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP+
• Weight: approximately 20 grams

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver supports standard SFP+ slots, making it compatible with a wide range of network switches and devices that accept SFP+ modules. It is optimized for Aruba switches, such as the 2530 series, but also interoperates with other vendors’ hardware that follows the SFP+ specification. The LC connector interface ensures secure and stable fiber connections, which is essential for maintaining consistent network performance.

Ideal uses and environments

The Aruba J9152D is well suited for network administrators who need to link top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers or add 10 Gigabit uplinks to edge switches within campus backbones. It fits environments where existing multimode fiber infrastructure is in place, especially in older buildings where runs typically do not exceed 220 meters. Its compact size and plug-in design make it a practical choice for high-density racks and setups requiring flexible, modular optics.
