HPE Aruba 4-port 10GbE SFP+ Module for the Aruba 3810M Switch JL083A

The HPE Aruba JL083A is a four-port 10GbE SFP+ module for Aruba 3810M switches, suited to network administrators adding high-speed optical-fiber connectivity to compatible switch deployments.

Recommended For

• Network teams adding four SFP+ uplinks to a compatible Aruba 3810M or 2930M switch, while keeping their existing switch platform in service.
• Data-center or building-network operators connecting switches over fiber or supported direct-attach links when they need additional 10GbE ports on a 3810M.
• IT teams expanding an existing 3810M with a mix of supported 100M, 1G, and 10G SFP transceivers for different link speeds or fiber distances.
• Organizations that need a modular uplink option and can verify transceiver and switch compatibility before deployment.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a 3810M access switch needs more high-speed connections to a core or aggregation switch, the JL083A adds four SFP+ ports for 10GbE uplinks, reducing reliance on slower links.
• In a rack or datacenter, an administrator can use the module to connect a 3810M to servers or storage with compatible 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, giving those devices a faster wired path through the switch.
• For a fiber link between network closets or buildings, the module can connect to compatible SFP or SFP+ optics selected for the cable and distance; the expected result is a dedicated switch-to-switch connection without running copper Ethernet between locations.
• When an installed 3810M needs additional uplink capacity, the module uses its flexible-module slot to add four SFP+ connections, allowing the network to expand without replacing the switch chassis.
• In a mixed-speed network, the module can serve links that use supported 1Gb SFP or 10Gb SFP+ optics, helping an administrator connect existing 1Gb equipment alongside newer 10Gb links; each port’s usable speed depends on the installed transceiver.
