HPE Networking Instant On R9D18A SFP+ Transceiver 10GBASE-SR 850 nm LC Multimode 300 m OM3 for 1930 and 1960
HPE Instant On R9D18A — 10G SR SFP+ for Instant On
The HPE Networking Instant On R9D18A is a 10 Gbit SFP+ short-reach transceiver for multimode fibre, reaching 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 at 850 nm over an LC duplex connection, with digital diagnostics. It is the Instant On family’s own optic, listed for the 10G SFP+ ports of Instant On 1930 and 1960 switches. In practice, multimode optics are the cheaper choice for links inside one building: most server rooms and floor risers already carry OM3 or OM4 fibre, and the module plus a short patch cord is all a port needs. Before you order, check the fibre grade printed on the cable jacket and the real length of the run, including patch panels.
