FAQs about HP Mini-GBIC and SFP Transceivers

Q: Which ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs are supported in which ProCurve products?

The ProCurve Networking Mini-GBIC Support Matrix specifies which Mini-GBICs and SFPs are compatible with which ProCurve products. General rules are:

Only genuine HP Mini-GBICs and SFPs are consistent with HP products.

The J8177B/C 1000Base-T Mini-GBIC is not supported in "dual personality" ports (which already include a gigabit copper LAN port).

Newer ProCurve / ProVision products require revision "B" or later Mini-GBICs and SFPs (product number ends with the letter "B" or later, for example J4858B, J4859C).

Q: Are the "revision C" Mini-GBICs (J4858C, J4859C, J4860C) supported in all products that support the "Revision B" (J4858B, J4859B, J4860B) Mini-GBICs?

Yes, the "revision C" Mini-GBICs (J4858C, J4859C, J4860C) are supported in all ProCurve / ProVision products that support Mini-GBICs.

Q: Can I mix and match "B" and "C" mini-GBICs in a ProCurve switch?

Yes, "Revision B" and "Revision C" mini-GBICs can be used together in any ProCurve switch that supports mini-GBICs.

Q: Are the Mini-GBICs and SFPs hot-swappable?

Yes, all HP Mini-GBICs and SFPs are hot-swappable (they can be installed and removed while the switch is powered on). However, the network cable should be disconnected before removing the Mini-GBIC or SFP from the switch.

Best practice tip: After inserting a transceiver into a ProCurve / ProVision switch, the Mode LED will come on for two seconds while the transceiver is initialized. Do not remove the transceiver until the Mode LED has turned off. For the Switch 2600 and 2800 Series: After inserting a transceiver into a 2600 or 2800 switch, the "M" LED will come on to indicate that the mini-GBIC slot is active. Wait at least two seconds after the "M" LED comes on if you need to remove the transceiver.

Q: Which HP Mini-GBICs and SFPs are RoHS compliant?

All currently-shipping HP Mini-GBICs and SFPs are RoHS compliant. This includes:

J4858C HP X121 1G SFP LC SX Transceiver

J4859C HP X121 1G SFP LC LX Transceiver

J4860C HP X121 1G SFP LC LH Transceiver

J8177C HP X121 1G SFP RJ45 T Transceiver

J9054C HP X111 100M SFP LC FX Transceiver

J9099B HP X112 100M SFP LC BX-D Transceiver

J9100B HP X112 100M SFP LC BX-U Transceiver

J9142B HP X122 1G SFP LC BX-D Transceiver

J9143B HP X122 1G SFP LC BX-U Transceiver

Q: When should I use the "auto-100" setting for my J8177C gigabit-copper Mini-GBIC?

The J8177C "auto-100" setting is helpful in connecting an 8200zl or 5400zl switch to an Avaya Cajun switch or Avaya G700 Media Gateway (PBX), which operate at 100 Mbps and send non-standard Ethernet preambles. Because of the non-standard preamble, those Avaya products send packets that the Switch zl 10/100/1000-T ports do not recognize. With the "auto-100" setting, the J8177C will operate at 100 Mbps, will auto negotiate the duplex and flow control, and will accept the non-standard packets. (NOTE: The "auto-100" setting can be used for only J8177C products, not for the J8177B.)

Q: What products do not support the J8177C but do support the J8177B?

HP transceiver JD119B The 9300m and 9400sl products do not support the J8177C version. Other than the 9300m and 9400sl products all other products that support the J8177B version will support the J8177C version.

Q: Where to buy compatible HP Mini-GBIC and SFP transceivers?

Some Knowldege About HP ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs

About HP ProCurve

HP ProCurve was the name of the networking division of Hewlett-Packard from 1998 to 2010 and associated with the products that it sold. The name of the division was changed to HP Networking (also called HP ProCurve Networking) in September 2010 after HP bought 3Com Corporation. As the then-ProCurve division began to offer LAN switches, Core, Datacenter, Distribution, Edge, Web managed and Unmanaged Switches. The ProCurve was also used with Network Management, Routing and Security products. HP ProCurve transceivers as the part of its networking accessories that are applied to their corresponding switches or routers. Today, we will introduce some knowledge of the HP ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs.

Knowledge You Should Know About HP ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs

For the above products, there usually are many questions about them. The following infomation will make you to know more about them.

Supported Platform
According to HP ProCurve Networking Mini-GBIC Support Matrix, we can easily find out which Mini-GBICs and SFPs are supported on which ProCurve Systems. General rules are:

Please use only genuine or high-quality 100% compatible ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs on ProCurve System.

Newer ProCurve products require revision "B" or later Mini-GBICs and SFPs (product number ends with the letter "B" or later, for example J4858B, J4859C).

HP SFP compatible Systems

About the Version A, B, C

HP ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs have three version, but you may not find A and B anymore in HP's official website. In fact, the version A, B and C are the development of HP ProCurve Mini-GBIC and SFP. Though there is no big difference between these three version, some improvement will be added in the newest version, and the supported platforms adjustment. The "revision C" Mini-GBICs (eg. J4858C, J4859C, J4860C) are supported in all ProCurve products that support Mini-GBICs. In addition, "revision B" and "revision C" mini-GBICs can be used together in any ProCurve switch that supports mini-GBICs. Actually, as the transitional products, HP stops offering the version A and version B. But version C are not supported on some old switches, thus, some users have still used the version A or version B. Fiberstore can support the 100% compatible HP ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs at version A, B and C, such as J4858A/B/C, J4859A/B/C, J4860A/B/C.

Mini-GBICs and SFPs hot-swappable

All ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs are hot-swappable (they can be installed and removed while the switch is powered on). However, the network cable should be disconnected before removing the Mini-GBIC or SFP from the switch.

Best practice tip: After inserting a transceiver into a ProCurve switch, the Mode LED will come on for two seconds while the transceiver is initialized. Do not remove the transceiver until the Mode LED has turned off. For the Switch 2600 and 2800 Series: After inserting a transceiver into a 2600 or 2800 switch, the "M" LED will come on to indicate that the mini-GBIC slot is active. Wait at least two seconds after the "M" LED comes on if you need to remove the transceiver.
