Aruba compatible R9D16A Description
EdgeOptic's R9D16A compatible is an Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic 1.25G-SFP-550D multi-vendor 1000BASE-SX transceiver. It matches the HPE Networking Instant On 1G SFP LC SX 500m OM2 MMF spec: an 850nm VCSEL transmitter, a PIN photodiode receiver, and a duplex LC interface over multimode fiber. The module runs dual-rate, covering 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet at 1.25 Gbps and 1G Fibre Channel short-wave at 1.0625 Gbps, in line with IEEE 802.3z and FC-PI.
HPE names this part for OM2 fiber, which carries 500 MHz·km modal bandwidth. With a 7.5 dB optical budget, the module reaches up to 550m over OM2 (50/125) multimode fiber per the 1000BASE-SX specification, and works over OM3 and OM4 plant without a different part. It operates from a +3.3V supply across a 0 to 70°C commercial temperature range. The EdgeOptic compatible adds DDM/DOM digital diagnostics so the host can read live transmit power, receive power, temperature, and bias-current telemetry on the port.
The R9D16A is the Aruba Instant On part, built for the Instant On small-business switch line and HPE OfficeConnect units, not for Aruba enterprise or data-center switches. Those enterprise platforms use the J4858D instead. EdgeOptic codes the module with Aruba-recognized EEPROM so it is accepted on Instant On switches without an unsupported-transceiver workaround. Confirm your specific Instant On model against the HPE Instant On transceiver guide before ordering.
The module is CE and RoHS certified, rated Class 1 Laser, and built to the SFP INF-8074i MSA. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, it ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the R9D16A work in Aruba enterprise switches like the 6000, 6100, or 8320 series?
No. The R9D16A is the Aruba Instant On part, coded for the Instant On small-business switch line and HPE OfficeConnect units. It is not supported on Aruba enterprise or data-center switches such as the 6000, 6100, 6200, or 8320 series. For those platforms, the J4858D is the matching 1000BASE-SX part. The optics are the same across both; the difference is the switch platform the module is coded for.
