StarTech J9153A-ST HPE Compatible 10GbE SFP+ ER 1550nm 40km

Overview :

The StarTech J9153A-ST is a high-performance, hot-swappable SFP+ transceiver module engineered to be a direct equivalent to the HPE J9153A. Designed for long-reach 10-Gigabit Ethernet deployments, this module provides reliable 10Gbps connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF) at a wavelength of 1550nm. It is a critical component for connecting switches and routers across metropolitan area networks (MAN) or large campus backbones.

Technically, the transceiver supports distances up to 40km (24.8 miles) using LC duplex connectors. It is fully programmed and tested to ensure seamless integration with HPE Aruba switches and routers, maintaining full functional parity with the original manufacturer hardware. The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), allowing network administrators to monitor real-time parameters such as laser bias current, optical receive power, and operating temperature.

This SFP+ is built to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards and features a low-power consumption design (under 1.5W). Its rugged construction is optimized for data center environments, providing a dependable link for high-bandwidth applications where signal integrity over extended distances is non-negotiable. It is an ideal solution for IT procurement teams looking to expand network reach without proprietary vendor lock-in.

Key Features :

• 100% compatibility with HPE J9153A guaranteed for Aruba/ProCurve

• Supports long-reach 10GbE connectivity up to 40km over SMF

• Integrated DDM/DOM for real-time optical performance monitoring

• Low power consumption (< 1.5W) reduces rack heat dissipation

• Hot-swappable design allows installation without system downtime
