The HPE R9D16A is a 1 Gbps SFP fiber transceiver with an LC connector, designed for multimode OM2 fiber links up to 500 m. It suits network administrators connecting compatible switches or other network equipment over short- to medium-distance fiber runs.
Recommended For
- Network administrators adding a 1Gbps fiber uplink to a supported Aruba Instant On 1830 switch; HPE lists the R9D16A as a compatible transceiver for 1830 models with SFP ports.
- IT teams connecting Instant On switches across an existing multimode-fiber run with LC connectors, when a 1Gbps link and a run within the transceiver’s stated distance are sufficient.
- Small-business or branch-network installers who want an HPE-listed optic for a supported Instant On switch and prefer a manufacturer-supported setup over testing third-party transceivers.
- Teams linking nearby network closets or switches over multimode fiber where 1Gbps capacity is adequate and the fiber path fits the specified reach.
