HP Networking Instant On 10G SFP+ LC LR Transceiver for Single Mode Fiber Connections Up to 10 Km Model S0G21A

The HPE Networking Instant On S0G21A is a 10G SFP+ LR transceiver for single-mode fiber, suited to network operators connecting compatible Instant On switches across links up to 10 km.

Recommended For

• Network teams connecting buildings or remote equipment rooms over installed single-mode fiber, where a 10Gbps link needs to span more than 100 meters and no more than 10 kilometers.
• IT administrators adding a 10Gbps fiber uplink to a supported Instant On 1930 or 1960 switch, with the required firmware and an SFP+ port.
• Organizations linking separate buildings or distant network closets that already have single-mode fiber with LC connections and need a listed HPE Instant On optic.
• Network operators who prioritize using an HPE-listed transceiver for supported Instant On switches rather than relying on an unlisted third-party optic.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Link a 1930 or 1960 switch to a switch in a distant wiring closet or separate building over single-mode fiber; with compatible 10G LR optics at both ends, this provides a 10GbE connection over distances beyond copper Ethernet’s usual reach, up to the transceiver’s rated limit.
• Use it as a fiber uplink from an access switch to a core or aggregation switch when the two are far apart; the 10GbE link gives combined traffic from connected devices a higher-capacity path between network layers.
• Connect two network closets across a campus or large site where single-mode fiber is already installed; this can extend switching connectivity between locations without relying on a long copper run.
• Connect a switch to a 10GbE server or storage device in another room or building when both ends support compatible LR optics; this gives large file transfers or backups a fiber path that can span distances beyond a short in-room link.
