BlueOptics S0G18A-BO — 10GBASE-T RJ-45 SFP+ for HPE Instant On
10GBASE-TRJ-45Up to 30 mHPE S0G18A coded
The BlueOptics S0G18A-BO is a 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver coded for the HPE S0G18A, which turns an SFP+ port into an RJ-45 port reaching up to 30 m on Cat6A or Cat7 cable. It is a third-party compatible module made by CBO GmbH in Germany under the code BO08J78S6, with a metal enclosure and a maximum draw of 2.5 W. It is meant for HPE Networking Instant On 1930 and 1960 switches, to connect a 10G server or NAS over copper. In practice, a copper module is the quickest way to connect a nearby device that only has an RJ-45 port, without buying a media converter. Stay within the reach shown in the table and use fibre for anything further away.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a copper module for twisted-pair cable, not a fibre optic. It needs an SFP+ (10G) port; it will not work in a 1G-only SFP port. Reach is 30 m on Cat6A or Cat7. HPE states that the original S0G18A runs on Instant On 1930 and 1960 from software V3.0.0, that 1000 Mbps is not supported, and that shielded STP Cat6A is recommended. So plan it for 10G devices only. For Aruba AOS-S/AOS-CX switches, order JL563A-BO or JL563B-BO instead — same hardware, different coding. Not sure? Send us your switch model and the cable run and we check it before you order.
Best For
✓ 10G NAS on Instant On 1930 / 1960 switches
✓ 10G servers in small offices
✓ Using Instant On SFP+ ports for copper
✓ Short runs on shielded Cat6A
✓ Lower-cost alternative to the HPE part
✓ Spare module for an Instant On network
Key Features
Coded for the HPE part
The module identifies itself as the HPE S0G18A, so the switch treats it like the original part.
Runs warm, plan for it
Copper SFP+ modules draw up to 2.5 W, several times a fibre optic. HPE itself limits the reach of this module type to 30 m because of the power available to the transceiver.
Copper instead of fibre
Turns an SFP or SFP+ cage into an RJ-45 port, so a switch uplink can reach a server, NAS or camera recorder over twisted-pair cable. Reach depends on the speed and the cable category — see the reach rows in the table.
Hot-swappable
Modules plug into a live port without shutting the switch down, so a link can be added or replaced during working hours. Seat it until it clicks and use the latch to remove it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
On Instant On switches this module is the way to add a 10G copper port for a NAS or server. Remember it will not run a Gigabit device, and keep the cable to 30 m of shielded Cat6A. For Aruba enterprise switches, the JL563A-BO or JL563B-BO is the right coding. Every order is backed by Singular’s local support in Cyprus — if a link will not come up, send us the port status from the switch and we help you find out whether it is the optic, the cable or the configuration. Browse all transceivers and DAC cables or the switches they plug into.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You run an Instant On 1930 or 1960 on V3.0.0 or later and need a 10G RJ-45 port within 30 m.
Skip it if
The device is Gigabit, the switch is Aruba AOS-S/CX, or the run is over 30 m.
