Know before you buy
This module is specifically engineered and tested for the Aruba 8325 Switch Series. While it may physically fit other devices, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's compatibility list to ensure reliable performance and network stability.
No, this is a 25GBase-SR transceiver designed exclusively for multi-mode optical fiber. It will not function correctly if paired with single-mode cabling.
This module uses a standard LC connector. You will need a multi-mode fiber patch cable equipped with LC connectors on both ends to establish your connection.
The 25GBase-SR standard is designed for short-range, high-speed data transmission within data centers or enterprise networking environments. It is ideal for connecting switches and servers over multi-mode fiber infrastructure.
This module is specifically built for 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is not intended for use in 10GbE environments, and you should verify that your switch ports are configured for 25G speeds.
