Detailed Specifications
HPE JW088A 1 GbE SFP Transceiver Module (1000BASE-SX)
Overview
The HPE JW088A is a 1 Gigabit SFP optical transceiver module designed for enterprise fibre-optic left-and-right connection in access or aggregation networks. It supports the 1000BASE-SX standard over multimode fibre using an 850 nm wavelength and is rated for distances up to about 550 metres in MMF environments. It fits standard SFP cages in HPE/Aruba switches and mobility controllers and enables cost-effective fibre uplink or fibre link segments where copper is not suitable. Typical use: connecting wiring-closet switches to fibre backbone or linking buildings across campus.
Key Features
1 Gbps data rate using 1000BASE-SX multimode fibre interface × appropriate for high-density access uplinks.
850 nm wavelength over multimode fibre with reach up to ~550 m × supports campus fibre runs or server-room to closet links.
LC duplex connector form-factor in small-form-factor (SFP) plug-in module × hot-swappable and compatible with HPE/Aruba SFP ports.
Supports industry standard SFP MSA compliance and fits in Aruba/HPE equipment offering fibre options without replacing entire switch modules.
