Hi,

I am trying to connect  Aruba 8320 ( with J4858D ) with Cisco ISR4451

( GLC-SX-MMD  ).

Does anyone if the two SFPs J4858D will work with GLC-SX-MMD on a OM4 LC-LC fiber patch cord ?

thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks

Hi!

Look at the aruba transceiver guide:
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=a00028947en_us

The datasheet say's that the transceiver is working at 850nm up to 550 m or 1804.46 ft.

If you compare it with the cisco SFP Module Datasheet, I guess they will match.
There are no explicit statement to the GLC-SX-MMD, except it can be operated in extended temperature range.
But the GLC-SX-MMD belongs to the 1000BASE-SX Class transceivers.

cisco:

aruba:

For none of the two transceivers are OM4 values listed.
But they operate on 850 nm, so they should work together.

I had J4858D on OM4 fibers working, but not in connection with other vendors.
On OM3 lines, I saw aruba and cisco SX transceivers working together.
Sometimes, older cisco routers need to be set to 1Gbit fixed speed to come up with other vendors.

I conclude out of the datasheets that it should work.
But I can not guarantee it for you, maybe your partner can provide you test equipment to be sure?

Many thanks for the response. I will test it tonight and update you on the outcome.

It worked. Thanks

Nice to hear!
