HPE Instant On R9D18A — 10G SR SFP+ for Instant On

10 Gbps10GBASE-SROM3 300 mInstant 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.

Compatibility — check before buying:
HPE states that a 10G transceiver will not operate in a 1G SFP port, so it is for the 10G SFP+ ports of Instant On 1930 and 1960 switches — not the 1G-only models. For Aruba ArubaOS-Switch and CX switches, the J9150D has the same optics. Reach falls to 33 m on OM1 fibre. Keep the dust cap on until you connect the fibre, and clean both connector ends before every mating — dirt is the most common cause of a link that will not come up. Not sure? Send us your device model and the cable run and we check it before you order.

Best For

✓ Instant On 1930 and 1960 uplinks
✓ Small-business fibre backbones
✓ Links inside one building on OM3/OM4
✓ Stacking Instant On switches over fibre
✓ Server and NAS links at 10G
✓ Replacing a failed Instant On optic

Key Features

 
Made for Instant On
Listed in HPE’s Instant On Transceiver Guide for the 10G SFP+ ports of 1930 and 1960 switches.
 
Multimode fibre, short reach
Built for the short runs inside a building or data room over OM-grade multimode fibre. Reach depends on the fibre grade — check what is actually in your walls before you plan a link.
 
Monitoring you can read
Digital diagnostics (DOM) let the host report temperature, laser power and received light, so a dirty connector or a failing link shows up before users call.
 
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

Which Instant On switches take it?
HPE lists the 1930 models JL682A, JL683A/B, JL684A/B, JL685A, JL686A/B and the 1960 models JL805A to JL809A and S0F35A. It will not work in a 1G-only SFP port.
Can I use it in an Aruba CX switch?
HPE lists it for Instant On. For Aruba ArubaOS-Switch and CX switches, order the J9150D, which has the same optical specification.
Are fibre patch cords included?
No. You get 1 module. The patch cord for the LC duplex connector, a matching module for the far end of the link and a fibre cleaning tool are bought separately. Tell us the distance and the fibre type and we quote the right cord.
Will it work in a switch from another brand?
This is the Instant On family’s own optic. HPE lists it for Instant On 1930 and 1960 switches; the Aruba (ArubaOS-Switch and CX) equivalent is the J9150D. Operation in other brands’ switches is not published — send us the model and we check it.
Singular Expert Insight
We supply the R9D18A for Instant On networks that need a 10G fibre uplink inside a building. Check that the switch port is a 10G SFP+ port, and match the far end with another SR optic. For single-mode runs between buildings, ask us for the Instant On LR option. Every order is backed by Singular’s local support in Cyprus — if a link will not come up, send us the port status and we help you find out whether it is the module, the cable or the configuration. Browse all transceivers and DAC cables or the switches they plug into.

Buyer’s Guide
