Description

The JH233A-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Aruba JH233A. It operates as a plug-and-play QSFP+ transceiver on Aruba networking platforms. - IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 and IEEE 10GBASE-SR compliance ensures interoperability with 40G and 4x10G breakout applications - QSFP+ form factor delivering 40Gbps over four parallel 10Gbps lanes at 850nm wavelength - Supports up to 300m on OM3 and 400m on OM4/OM5 multimode fiber with MPO/MTP-12 connector - Digital diagnostics (DOM) accessible via I2C interface per QSFP+ MSA specification - Hot-swappable design for native 40G links or 4x10G breakout connectivity to 10GBASE-SR interfaces - Operating temperature range 0 to 70 degrees Celsius for standard commercial environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 compliance guarantees physical layer interoperability for native 40G Ethernet, while each individual 10G lane adheres to IEEE 10GBASE-SR specifications for breakout compatibility
• Four independent parallel transmit and receive lanes operating at 10.3125 GBd each, aggregating to 40Gbps throughput over 12-fiber MPO ribbon cable
• Extended reach CSR4 variant doubles the distance capability of standard SR4 optics, enabling 300m on OM3 and 400m on OM4/OM5 laser-optimized multimode fiber
• Supports both native 40G aggregation with MPO/MTP patch cables and 4x10G breakout mode using parallel-to-duplex breakout cables for connection to four separate 10GBASE-SR ports
• Digital diagnostics monitor real-time operating parameters including temperature, supply voltage, transmit bias current, transmit power, and receive power per QSFP+ MSA SFF-8436 specification
• Hot-swappable module with commercial temperature rating (0 to 70 degrees Celsius) suitable for data centre spine-leaf, aggregation layer, and high-performance computing interconnects
• VCSEL transmitter technology at 850nm wavelength optimized for multimode fiber propagation, minimizing dispersion and maximizing link margin across OM3 and OM4 fiber types

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Aruba JH233A?
A: Yes. The JH233A-BCC provides the same QSFP+ form factor, 40Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength, and IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 compliance as the Aruba JH233A. It is plug-and-play compatible with Aruba switches that specify the JH233A transceiver.

Q: Which Aruba switches support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Aruba switches featuring QSFP+ ports that support 40GBASE-SR4 or 40GBASE-CSR4 specifications. If your Aruba switch accepts the JH233A SKU and provides a QSFP+ 40G interface, this module will function as a direct replacement. Specific platform compatibility depends on the switch supporting IEEE 802.3ba 40G signaling.

Q: What fibre types and distances does the CSR4 variant support?
A: The 40GBASE-CSR4 extends reach beyond standard SR4 optics. It supports 300 meters on OM3 multimode fiber and 400 meters on OM4 or OM5 fiber. Each of the four 10G lanes meets IEEE 10GBASE-SR optical specifications, enabling reliable transmission over laser-optimized multimode fiber. Maximum distance depends on fiber quality, connector insertion loss, and total link budget.

Q: Can this transceiver operate in 4x10G breakout mode?
A: Yes. Because each lane is IEEE 10GBASE-SR compliant, you can use this module with an MPO-to-duplex breakout cable to connect to four separate 10GBASE-SR SFP+ ports. Each breakout lane supports the same reach as the aggregate 40G link (300m on OM3, 400m on OM4). The host switch must support QSFP+ breakout configuration.

Q: How do I access digital diagnostics and what parameters are available?
A: DOM functions are accessible via the I2C interface as defined by QSFP+ MSA SFF-8436. Real-time parameters include module temperature, supply voltage, transmit bias current per lane, optical transmit power per lane, and optical receive power per lane. Most Aruba network operating systems expose these values through CLI commands or SNMP for link health monitoring and troubleshooting.
