Aruba JL485A 25G SFP28 LC eSR 400m MM | 25GbE, Transceiver

Keep 25GbE links stable across longer multimode runs with the Aruba JL485A SFP28 transceiver module. Designed for HPE Aruba switching platforms, this optic supports Ethernet 25GBase-ESR over LC multimode fiber and reaches up to 400 m, making it a practical fit for aggregation layers, leaf-spine extensions, and high-density access designs. For teams standardizing on multimode fiber, this module preserves the economics of existing plant while delivering the bandwidth headroom needed for storage traffic, virtualization, and east-west application flows. The SFP28 form factor supports compact switch designs, while the LC connector keeps patching familiar and easy to manage in crowded racks. Choose this module when link distance, port density, and interoperability matter more than commodity optics. It is a targeted fit for Aruba environments that need dependable 25GbE performance without overbuilding the fiber layer. That balance of reach and compatibility is what makes it a strong choice for enterprise upgrades and refresh cycles.
