HP J9054D-Compatible X111 100BASE-FX SFP Transceiver – 1310nm, 2km Multimode, LC

Fast Ethernet fiber connectivity for legacy devices and long multimode runs.

This HP J9054D-compatible module is a 100BASE-FX SFP transceiver that carries 100 Mbps over multimode fiber at 1310 nm with a duplex LC connector. It is designed for HPE Aruba switches with SFP ports that support 100BASE-FX, reaching up to 2 km on multimode fiber.

Why Matching Optics Matter for Stable Fiber Links

Fiber links fail in frustrating ways when optics are mismatched: the link may not come up, may flap under load, or may log errors that slowly degrade performance. Third-party modules can also trigger unsupported-transceiver messages on HPE switches.

The J9054D follows the IEEE 100BASE-FX standard at 1310 nm, so it interoperates with any compliant optic at the other end of the link, and it is coded to match the HPE J9054D (X111) part for use in compatible HPE/Aruba switch ports.

With a reach of up to 2 km on multimode fiber, it suits links between wiring closets, floors and racks.

100BASE-FX Performance and Reach

The J9054D runs at 100 Mbps using a 1310 nm laser over multimode (OM1/OM2) fiber, reaching up to 2 km on multimode fiber. Both ends of the link must use matching 100BASE-FX optics.

Hot-Swappable with Diagnostics

The module can be inserted or removed while the device is running. Supported HPE switches report optical diagnostics such as transmit and receive power, which help find dirty connectors or damaged fiber.

How to Install the HP J9054D-Compatible Transceiver

1. Confirm the host port supports 100BASE-FX SFP modules and that the other end of the link uses a matching optic.
2. Remove the dust plug and slide the transceiver into the port until it latches.
3. Clean the LC connectors and connect a multimode duplex patch cord, crossing transmit and receive.
4. Verify link status and optical levels from the switch or array management interface.
