R9D17A Instant On 1 G SFP RJ45 Transceiver Module

The HPER9D17A is a robust 1 Gigabit SFP RJ45 Transceiver Module designed for Aruba Instant On and select HPEswitch platforms. It smoothly converts an SFP port into a copper-based Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface, supporting Cat5e copper cabling over distances up to 100 meters (328 ft). Ideal for small business networks, branch offices, and edge connectivity, this module offers plug-and-play simplicity and broad interoperability in compact modular switches.

Features

This SFP module acts as a copper uplink solution for SFP-equipped switches, bypassing the need for separate fiber ports in short-reach applications. It supports IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T, auto-negotiation, and full-duplex operation, enabling one gigabit link over standard Cat5e wiring. Compatible with Aruba Instant On models such as 1930 and 1960 as well as HPEOfficeConnect switch lines, the module provides flexible connectivity and ensures stable performance within a voltage range of 0°C to 70°C. Hot-swappable design supports maintenance-free upgrades.
