What transceivers are compatible with the J4893A module?

The module supports HP ProCurve Gigabit SX LC (J4858A), LX LC (J4859A), and LH LC (J4860A) mini-GBICs. These provide IEEE 802.3z compliant Gigabit Ethernet over multimode or single-mode fiber, with LH extending up to 70km. Installation in the 6 SFP slots is hot-swappable in compatible chassis.

Which switches is the HP J4893A compatible with?

Designed as a modular expansion card for ProCurve 4100gl series chassis, including 4108gl (J4865A) with 8 slots and 4160gl (J8152A) with 5 slots. It installs in dedicated module slots within EIA 19-inch rack-compatible systems.

What are the physical dimensions of the module?

Measures 8.97(d) x 8.0(w) x 1.75(h) inches or 22.78 x 20.32 x 4.45 cm. This compact form factor fits seamlessly into ProCurve gl chassis module bays, supporting high-density deployments in standard racks.

Does it support Gigabit Ethernet standards?

Yes, fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z for 1000Base-SX/LX/LH. Ports operate at 1000 Mbps full duplex with auto-negotiation for optimal link establishment when using supported transceivers.

What compliance certifications does it have?

Includes UL 1950 3rd edition, FCC Class A, EN 55022/CISPR-22 Class A, VCCI Class A, EN 55024/CISPR-24, and ESD per IEC 61000-4-2 4 kV CD. These ensure safety and EMC performance in enterprise networks.

Is the module hot-swappable?

Transceivers in the mini-GBIC slots support hot-swap operation without requiring a switch reset, as per ProCurve gl documentation. The module itself installs in chassis slots, potentially needing a reset depending on firmware.
