Identification of 4x4 part numbers
A SKU# may be fulfilled by two or more vendor parts providing similar functionality. A 4x4 part number is of the
form nnnn-nnnn and is on the transceiver or DAC 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 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 earlier and current
products.
