HPE Aruba Networking S2P34A 25G LR SFP28 LC Transceiver

Carry a 25 Gbps Ethernet optical connection across single-mode fiber where copper cannot cover the required distance. The SFP28 interface and LC optical connection place this transceiver at the equipment-to-fiber handoff: install it in a compatible SFP28 port, then connect the appropriate LC single-mode fiber path. Its LR designation and 10 km reach suit building-to-building, campus, and long in-building backbone links that require a 25G connection. HPE Aruba Networking S2P34A is specified as a 25G LR SFP28 LC 10 km single-mode fiber C-Class transceiver. Selection centers on the required signaling rate, optical reach, fiber type, and connector type. This optic supports a 25 Gbps link requirement, uses single-mode fiber for its stated reach, and terminates through an LC optical connection. Those attributes make it a direct fit only where both ends of the fiber path and the host equipment are planned around this interface type. Within the Aruba Networking optics range, the defining characteristics are the 25G SFP28 format, LR reach class, LC fiber connection, and 10 km single-mode distance rating. It is not a short-reach multimode optic or a copper direct-attach connection; its role is an optical link over single-mode cabling. The C-Class designation is part of the product’s stated classification and should be retained when matching the optic to the intended network hardware and fiber run.
