• Aruba 3810M switches needing 10 Gb fiber uplinks

• Campus core and distribution links

• High-bandwidth server connections

• Deployments that mix fiber media types

Choose something else if:

• You need 40 Gb uplinks → 40 Gb QSFP+ modules (e.g., JL078A)

• You want built-in uplinks → fixed-port platforms

• You need more ports → higher-density modular platforms

TL;DR

JL083A is Aruba’s 4-port 10 GbE SFP+ uplink module for 3810M switches:
a flexible and high-performance way to extend fiber uplink capacity in enterprise networks.
