Overview

The Monoprice 113432 Ironlink is a 10G XFP transceiver module built to be compatible with the HP JD094B-IL, providing a cost-effective alternative to OEM optics for HP networking equipment. Supporting data rates up to 10.3 Gbps over multimode fiber via its LC connector, it complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR and the MSA XFP specification (SFF-8431), ensuring interoperability in standards-based network environments. The module operates on a single 3.3V power supply and uses TTL logic, matching the electrical requirements of compatible switch and router XFP slots.

Practical features include hot-pluggable operation for non-disruptive installation and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring per SFF-8472, which provides real-time telemetry on optical transmit and receive power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage through the host device's management interface. The transceiver is available in both standard (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ratings, making it suitable for climate-controlled data centers as well as harsher deployment environments. For organizations running HP infrastructure and looking to reduce optics costs without compromising on 10G performance, the Ironlink series provides a well-documented, standards-compliant option.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Delivers up to 10.3 Gbps data throughput for demanding network environments
  • HP JD094B-IL compatible and MSA-compliant for broad interoperability with HP equipment
  • Hot-pluggable design allows installation and replacement without network downtime
  • Digital Diagnostic Monitoring provides real-time visibility into transceiver health and performance
  • Significantly lower cost than OEM HP branded XFP modules

👎 Cons

  • Third-party module may trigger compatibility warnings on some HP switches despite functioning correctly
  • Short-reach SR optics limit fiber runs to multimode connections, not suitable for long-haul links
  • Single 3.3V power supply requirement should be verified against older equipment specifications
  • Limited to 10G speeds, which may not future-proof networks planning to upgrade to 25G or higher

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is designed as an HP JD094B-IL compatible module and complies with the MSA XFP specification, so it should be recognized and function correctly in HP switches and routers that accept XFP transceivers.
Yes, the module is hot-pluggable, allowing you to insert or remove it from a running switch or router without powering down the equipment.
It uses an LC duplex connector and supports 10GBASE-SR, which is designed for short-reach multimode fiber connections typically up to 300 meters.
Yes, it features Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) compliant with SFF-8472, which lets you monitor parameters like optical power, temperature, and voltage through your switch's management interface.
The module supports both standard (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) operating temperature ranges, though buyers should confirm which variant is being shipped.
