100Gbps QSFP28 Connectivity
The S3N89A delivers 100Gbps networking in a QSFP28 transceiver form factor. It is designed for high-bandwidth connections between compatible network switches, aggregation systems and data center infrastructure.
100Gbps connectivity provides substantially more bandwidth than 10GbE and 40GbE links, making the S3N89A suitable for high-throughput network backbones, data center interconnects and aggregation links.
100G LR Long-Reach Optical Technology
The S3N89A is a 100G LR transceiver designed for long-distance optical connectivity. HPE specifies a maximum transmission distance of 10km over single-mode fiber. ([HPE](https://www.hpe.com/psnow/generateDDS/HPE%20Aruba%20Networking%20100G%20LR%20QSFP28%20LC%2010km%20SMF%20Transceiver%20digital%20data%20sheet-PSN1014814660PLEN.pdf))
This makes the module suitable for campus, metropolitan, data center and enterprise network links where a 100Gbps connection must travel significantly farther than typical multimode-fiber SR solutions.
1310nm Wavelength
The S3N89A uses a nominal 1310nm optical wavelength. Aruba's transceiver guide identifies the module as a single-lane 1310nm 1x100G PAM4 optical transceiver. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
The 1310nm wavelength is commonly used with single-mode fiber for longer-distance optical communication.
Single-Mode Fiber Support
The S3N89A is designed for 9/125µm single-mode fiber (SMF). HPE Aruba documentation specifies SMF with an LC UPC connector and a maximum transmission distance of 10km. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
Use suitable single-mode optical cabling and compatible LC connectors when deploying the module. Multimode fiber designed for SR applications should not be substituted for the specified SMF infrastructure.
LC UPC Connector
The S3N89A uses an LC UPC optical interface. This makes it compatible with standard duplex LC single-mode fiber infrastructure designed for the module.
Always verify the connector type, fiber polarity and optical budget when connecting the module to an existing fiber plant.
1x100G PAM4 Architecture
The S3N89A differs from conventional 100G LR4 modules. Aruba documentation identifies S3N89A as a single-lane 1310nm 1x100G PAM4 transceiver. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
This is important when selecting compatible optics. HPE specifically notes that 100G LR is not compatible with 100G LR4 because LR uses one lane while LR4 uses four lanes. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
10km Transmission Distance
The S3N89A supports a maximum optical transmission distance of 10km (6.21 miles) according to HPE Aruba's transceiver documentation. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
Actual achievable distance depends on fiber quality, connector losses, patch panels, optical attenuation and the complete link budget.
Digital Optical Monitoring
The S3N89A supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM). Aruba's transceiver documentation identifies DOM as available for this module. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
DOM can provide useful optical diagnostics such as module operating conditions and optical transmit/receive information when supported by the host switch and software.
Optical Power Specifications
| Parameter | S3N89A |
|---|
| Transmit Power | -1.9 to +4.8 dBm |
| Receive Power | -8.2 to +4.8 dBm |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C |
| Typical Required Power | 4.5W |
These optical specifications are documented by HPE Aruba for the S3N89A. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
Compatible Aruba Networking Platforms
HPE Aruba documentation lists S3N89A compatibility across a range of QSFP28-capable Aruba platforms. Supported examples include the Aruba 6300, Aruba 6400, Aruba 8100, Aruba 8325, Aruba 8360 and Aruba 10000 families, subject to the applicable hardware model and minimum software release. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
For example, Aruba documentation lists S3N89A support for the Aruba 6300 48p Smart Rate 10G PoE with 4x100G QSFP models, with minimum software release 10.13.1010. ([Aruba Networking](https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/Switches/xcvrs/xcvr_guide/Content/Chp_qsfp28/qsf-lc-mod-spe.htm))
Compatibility is dependent on the exact switch model, QSFP28 port, AOS-CX software version and supported transceiver configuration. Always verify the specific switch before purchasing.
