HP Networking Instant On 1G SFP LC LX Transceiver for Single Model S0G20A

The HPE Instant On 1G SFP LC LX transceiver is a single-mode fiber module for compatible Instant On switches with SFP or SFP+ slots, suited to extending 1-gigabit network links up to 10 km.

Recommended For

• Network admins linking Instant On switches across buildings or campus fiber who need a 1GbE link over single-mode fiber, with a rated reach of up to 10 km.
• Small-business IT teams adding a fiber uplink to an HPE Networking Instant On switch with an SFP or SFP+ slot and seeking an officially recommended transceiver.
• Installers connecting network closets over an existing LC-terminated fiber path who want a 1GbE optical link and can match the transceiver to the fiber type and switch compatibility list.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Connect a switch in a detached office or building to the main network over installed single-mode fiber; the link can span distances beyond copper Ethernet’s usual 100-meter reach, up to the transceiver and fiber’s supported limits.
• Create a fiber uplink between distant network closets in a warehouse, campus, or large office; remote devices can reach the central network over a 1 Gbps connection without relying on a long copper run.
• Extend a small business network to an outbuilding or remote work area that already has compatible single-mode fiber; connecting switches over fiber provides network access there without placing the switch-to-switch link on copper.
• Use a fiber uplink from a central switch to a remote access switch serving nearby access points, cameras, or office devices; those devices can use the local switch while their network traffic returns over the 1 Gbps fiber link.
