Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The Duplex LC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 1G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

For this multimode module, confirm fiber grade, modal bandwidth and total loss before commissioning. The 550m over OM2 MMF figure applies only under suitable cabling conditions. Inspect every Duplex LC mating point and match the remote optical standard.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -9.5~-3dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -17dBm. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Procurement and Asset Identification

A useful purchase order identifies the host platform, expected OEM code and optical standard separately. This prevents a module with the same housing but another wavelength, reach or identification profile from being substituted. For mixed deployments, keep one order line per OEM reference and reconcile each received unit with its intended port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 1.25Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 550m over OM2 MMF.

HPE ProCurve Compatibility and Factory Testing

The module is checked for host recognition as J4858C, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify J4858C, J4858C, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
