LOADING...

The Aruba Networking S3N88A is a 100GBase-DR QSFP28 optical transceiver with an LC interface for single-mode fiber, designed for network teams connecting compatible Aruba equipment at 100 Gbit/s over distances up to 0.50 km.

Recommended For

  • Network teams connecting 100GbE ports across up to 500 m of single-mode fiber with LC cabling, such as between nearby data-center switches or network rooms.
  • Aruba switch operators building a supported 100GbE link on compatible hardware; check the transceiver guide for the switch model and required software before deployment.
  • Operators connecting a 400G 4xDR interface to one 100G DR link over single-mode fiber, as specified for the S3N90A pairing in Aruba’s transceiver guide.

Real-World Use Scenarios

  • Connecting two compatible switches across racks or data-center rooms: the transceivers provide a 100GbE link over existing single-mode fiber, provided the route is within the supported reach and the fiber has LC connectors.
  • Adding a 100GbE uplink between network switches in a data center: it can carry traffic between network layers over a single-mode fiber pair, without requiring a multimode-fiber link.
  • Linking equipment in nearby data-center buildings: if the existing single-mode fiber route is within 500 meters, the link can extend 100GbE connectivity between sites without using a longer-reach optic.
  • Connecting compatible switch, router, or storage-network ports over single-mode fiber: it supports a high-capacity equipment interconnect, as long as the ports support this transceiver and the fiber run is within range.
