HPE Instant On 10G SFP+ Transceiver

The HPE Instant On R9D18A is a 10G SFP+ transceiver built for short-range optical networking. It delivers a 10 Gbps transfer rate over multi-mode fiber using an LC connector. The module supports a maximum distance of 300m on OM3 fiber. It is designed for data networking and optical network applications within a building environment.

SFP+ Module for Multi-Mode Fiber Links

This transceiver fits into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch or router to provide a single 10GBase-SR port. It requires multi-mode fiber patch cables with LC connectors to complete the link. The small form factor measures .6 in by 2.2 in by .5 in and weighs .71 oz, leaving adjacent ports accessible. It frees up copper uplink ports for other connections while extending reach beyond standard twisted-pair limits.

Ideal for Short-Range 10G Uplinks

This module suits network administrators adding 10 Gbps fiber uplinks between switches in the same rack or across a building. It is not for buyers who need single-mode fiber for longer campus or metro distances. It is not for builders who require a different connector type such as MPO or SC. It is not for users whose equipment lacks an SFP+ cage or only supports lower-speed SFP modules.

Questions about this item

How far can the R9D18A transmit at 10 Gbps over OM3 multi-mode fiber?

The transceiver supports a maximum distance of 300 metres on OM3 multi-mode fiber at 10 Gbps.

What is the typical power draw and thermal output of the R9D18A during continuous operation?

The module uses the standard SFP+ form factor, which typically draws under 1 watt and runs cool enough for fan-less switches in a 0.5-inch high cage.

Which switch port and patch cable does the R9D18A require to operate?

It needs an SFP+ cage that accepts 10GBase-SR optics and a duplex LC multi-mode patch cord (OM3 or OM4) to complete the link.
