Identification of 4x4 part numbers
A SKU# (also called a Product Number or Part Number) may be fulfilled by two or more vendor parts providing similar functionality. A 4x4 part number is of the form nnnn-nnnn and is printed on the transceiver, DAC, or AOC label. For example, JL309A can have a 1990-4680 or 1990-4678 4x4 part number.
4x4 part numbers are referenced in the:
specification tables, to identify parts that support DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) capabilities. (Some older vendor parts do not support DOM.)
compatibility tables, where necessary, to identify supported combinations of switch or module with the identified transceiver, along with the minimum software version required.
In December 2017, Aruba introduced Revision D (and, in 2019, a Rev E 10G LR optic) versions of 100M, 1G, and 10G products. Revision D products are structured to be specific alternative vendors as sources for the SKU#. Earlier Revision A, B, or C product may have alternative vendors that Aruba no longer actively ships, but remains as fully supported in specific switches.
Some switch products will specify Revision D (and, in some cases, Rev E 10G LR optic) transceivers for full support, while other products may support earlier (older) revision transceivers – and some with specific 4x4 part numbers.
To cross-reference the Transceiver/DAC product against the switch product to identify the minimum software required for transceiver support, always refer to the Datasheet or QuickSpecs for the switch product to see the current list of supported transceivers. Refer to the compatibility tables within this document .
To use CLI commands to display data for an installed transceiver, see the following examples.
