Aruba J8177D

Overview

The Aruba J8177D is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 transceiver module designed to add copper connectivity to Aruba switches or devices with open SFP or SFP+ slots. It supports standard Category 5e twisted-pair cabling for distances up to 100 meters, enabling network expansion or upgrades without the need for new fiber installations. This module is ideal for environments that require reliable, high-speed connections over existing copper infrastructure.

Key features

• Compatible with any Aruba switch or device that has SFP or SFP+ slots, providing flexible deployment options.
• Supports cable runs up to 100 meters, suitable for typical office or data center layouts.
• Hot swappable design allows installation or replacement without powering down the switch, minimizing network downtime.
• Plug-and-play operation with automatic recognition by the switch, simplifying setup and reducing configuration time.

Key specs

• Data rate: 1 Gigabit per second
• Connector type: RJ45
• Cabling standard: Category 5e twisted-pair copper
• Maximum cable length: 100 meters
• Compatibility: Aruba switches and devices with SFP or SFP+ slots

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver module fits seamlessly into Aruba networking equipment that supports SFP or SFP+ slots, providing a copper Ethernet port where fiber may not be practical. It works with standard RJ45 patch cables and Cat5e cabling, which are common in many office and data center environments. This makes it a convenient choice for extending network reach or adding uplinks without rewiring.

Ideal uses and environments

The J8177D is well suited for office networks relying on existing copper infrastructure, branch locations needing quick and cost-effective uplinks, and data center rows requiring short-distance, high-speed server connections. Its hot swappable nature and automatic recognition make it a practical option for network administrators who need to maintain uptime while upgrading or expanding their setups.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
