    Hi Community,

    Does HPE QSFP+ to SFP+ JG330A or JG331A splitter cable support with the Aruba 5412r zl2 switch

    Hi! No it doesn't.

     

    The JG330A is the SKU of a HPE FlexNetwork X240 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Splitter Cable 3 meters long while the JG331A is the SKU of a HPE FlexNetwork X240 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Splitter Cable 5 meters long.

    Both are related to Comware OS based switch series of HPE, they are not related (nor supported by) ArubaOS-Switch OS based switch series.

    Hi,

    Thank you... Do I have any supported splitter cable 40G from HPE Synergy to Aruba 5400 zl2 switch without QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter from the synergy side?

    The ArubaOS ASICS hardware don't support QSFP+ transceivers with split capability's. What is supported in the ArubaOS-CX and Synergy Virtual Connect F8 modules. It depend on the capability's of the ASICS in the switch.

    "Splitting of QSFP+ and QSFP28 portsQuad-SFP (QSFP+ and QSFP28) ports allow for four channels of lower-bandwidth communication. ArubaOS-CX release 10.05 introduced this feature for select switches and modules. Split port is not availablefor ArubaOS-Switch products."

    Greetings!

     

    Split interfaces (required for splitter DACs and optics to function) are not supported on any AOS-Switch model.
