Aruba Networking 50G SFP56 LC SR 100m MMF Transceiver

The Aruba R0M48A is a 50G SFP56 LC SR transceiver that brings high-speed fiber connectivity to switches and routers that accept SFP56 modules. It provides a 50 Gb/s line rate over multi-mode fiber and supports distances up to 100 meters, making it well suited for short links inside data centers, wiring closets, or campus aggregation rooms.

Installation is straightforward. The module is hot swappable, so network staff can add or replace it without shutting down the switch or disrupting traffic on other ports. An LC duplex connector locks in cleanly, helping to maintain signal integrity even in densely populated patch panels.

Built-in Digital Optical Monitoring gives administrators real-time visibility into temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. This data helps with proactive troubleshooting and capacity planning, reducing the chance of unexpected downtime. Because the module has a small footprint and low weight, it fits easily in high-density switch line cards where space and cooling are at a premium.

Whether you are building new 50 GbE server uplinks, extending the lifespan of existing Aruba switching platforms, or adding bandwidth to a campus backbone, this transceiver offers a quick, reliable, and manageable path to higher throughput.
