Gigabit SFP optical transceiver modules
In December 2017, Aruba introduced Revision D versions of 100M, 1G, and 10G transceivers. Revision D
products are structured to be specific alternative vendors as sources for the SKU#. Earlier Revision A, B, or C
product may have alternative vendors that we no longer actively ship, but remain as fully supported in earlier and
current products.
Some switch products will be specifying Revision D transceivers for full support, while other products may support
earlier (older) revision transceivers – and some with specific 4x4 part numbers (see Chapter 1, "Overview" for
information regarding 4x4 part numbers).
Always refer to the Datasheet or QuickSpecs for the Switch product to see the current list of supported
transceivers.

• Although a 10G SFP+ transceiver module has the same physical dimensions of a 1G SFP
transceiver, a 10G transceiver will NOT operate in a 1G SFP port.
• Many, although not all, 10G SFP+ ports have support to use a 1G SFP transceiver (or even a
100Mbps FX SFP transceiver). See the QuickSpec for the Switch product and verify if the 1G or
100Mbps SFP transceiver is supported in the 10G SFP+ port.
Models, specifications, and compatibility
2.5-Gigabit SFP optical transceiver modules use LC connectors.
The specifications for Revision D transceiver products are the same as the specified Revision A, B, and C SKUs.
