How to Install HPE X190 25G SFP28 LC SR 100m MM Transceiver

  • Power down equipment: Before installation, power down or follow your equipment’s hot-swap protocol to avoid any electrical or data path issues.
  • Inspect and prepare fiber: Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber with LC connectors. Ensure the fiber ends are clean and free of scratches or debris to maximize signal integrity.
  • Insert the transceiver: Align the X190 SR SFP28 module with the device’s SFP28 slot and slide it in firmly until the module click or latch engages. Do not force the module, as improper seating can cause link failure.
  • Connect fiber cable: Attach the LC duplex fiber to the transceiver and the corresponding port on the partner device. Route cables to minimize bending and stress, keeping the recommended bend radius to preserve signal quality.
  • Power up and verify: Restore power to the equipment and verify link status through the device’s management interface. Confirm that the port negotiates to 25 Gbps and that the LED indicators indicate a healthy link.
  • Enable diagnostics (optional): If your network supports DOM/DDM, enable diagnostic monitoring to monitor optical power, temperature, and voltage for proactive maintenance and performance assurance.
  • Test end-to-end: Perform a basic throughput test and loopback or traffic test to confirm stable, error-free operation before placing the link into production usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the HPE X190 25G SFP28 LC SR 100m MM Transceiver best used for? It is ideal for short-reach, high-density connections in data centers and enterprise networks, enabling fast upgrades from 10G to 25G over existing multimode fiber while maintaining compatibility with a broad range of networking gear.
  • What kind of fiber should I use? Multi-mode fiber is required, with OM3 or OM4 being the recommended standards for 25GBASE-SR. This ensures reliable performance at 850 nm for distances up to 100 meters.
  • Is the transceiver compatible with non-HPE equipment? The X190 SR adheres to standard SFP28 25GBASE-SR specifications, making it compatible with many 25G-enabled switches, routers, and servers that support SFP28 modules in their 25GBASE-SR configurations. Always verify vendor-specific compatibility and DAC/AOC requirements for optimal interoperability.
  • Does it support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM)? Yes, the module supports DDM/DOM where the host device and software support it, providing real-time visibility into optical power, temperature, and other critical parameters.
  • What about installation and downtime? The transceiver is designed for hot-swappable deployment in compliant devices; however, following your equipment vendor’s hot-swap guidelines minimizes risk and downtime during upgrades or maintenance.
  • Can I use this transceiver to extend existing 10G networks? Yes, by upgrading to 25GBASE-SR on appropriate links, you can significantly increase bandwidth while leveraging your existing MMF infrastructure, provided that the connected devices support 25GBASE-SR and the link budget allows for the higher data rate over the chosen fiber length.
  • What maintenance is required? Routine checks of fiber cleanliness, connector integrity, and link health via the host management interface are typically sufficient. Use proper fiber cleaning tools and compliant LC connectors to maintain performance.
