The Aruba X151 is a 100G QSFP28 MPO SR4 multimode-fiber transceiver for network teams building or upgrading high-bandwidth fiber links with compatible Aruba equipment.
Recommended For
- Data-center teams linking Aruba switches over short multimode-fiber runs that need a 100GbE connection; Aruba specifies up to 100 m on OM4 and 70 m on OM3 for the JL309A SR4 optic.
- Network operators upgrading an existing OM3 or OM4 multimode-fiber backbone to 100GbE who can use MPO cabling and confirm the switch supports this transceiver.
- Teams connecting a 100G SR4 link to four 25G SR or eSR links, when the switch port supports breakout and the fiber layout uses the required MPO-to-4x-LC breakout cable.
- Aruba 8400X operators seeking an HPE Aruba-branded QSFP28 SR4 optic for a compatible 100GbE multimode-fiber connection.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- Connecting two compatible 100G QSFP28 switch ports in the same data center or nearby racks: over suitable OM4 multimode fiber, the link can span up to 100 m, providing a short-reach 100GbE connection without running single-mode fiber.
- Building a 100G leaf-to-spine or switch-aggregation link inside a data center: when both ends support SR4 and the path uses compatible MPO multimode cabling, the module provides a short-reach 100GbE uplink; OM3 supports up to 70 m and OM4 up to 100 m.
- Connecting a server or storage system with a compatible 100G SR4 port to an Aruba switch: the connection can carry a 100GbE link over local multimode fiber, provided both ends and the MPO cabling are compatible.
- Using one 100G switch port to connect four 25G SR links: on supported Aruba switch ports configured for breakout, an MPO-to-four-LC multimode breakout cable can fan the SR4 connection out to four compatible 25G endpoints.
- Reusing installed MPO multimode cabling for a short 100G link: where the fiber grade, connector type, polarity, and distance are suitable, SR4 can use the existing plant; it is not specified for OM1 or OM2, and its MPO connector must be the correct PC-polished type rather than APC.
