CBO Transceiver ABCU-5740AGZ Copper 10Gbps SFP+ Module

The CBO Transceiver ABCU-5740AGZ Copper 10Gbps SFP+ Module is a hot-pluggable 10G copper SFP+ transceiver designed for short-reach Ethernet links over copper cabling. It enables 10 gigabit connectivity for switches, servers and network appliances where space-efficient, low-latency copper connections are required. The module is intended for use in compatible SFP+ ports and supports standard 10GBASE-CR electrical interfaces commonly used for short-distance server interconnects and switch uplinks.

Advantages

This copper SFP+ module delivers 10Gbps throughput with low power consumption and straightforward installation through hot-pluggable operation. It reduces the need for fiber infrastructure in short-reach scenarios, allowing use of existing copper cabling and simplifying upgrades. The module offers compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and a compact form factor that conserves front-panel space in network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• High-speed uplinks in data center or enterprise networks
• Server-to-server interconnects and top-of-rack deployments
• Network upgrades where copper cabling is preferred over fiber

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10Gbps copper connectivity
• Data rate: Up to 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Twinax/copper cable for short-reach links
• Operation: Hot-pluggable module for easy installation and replacement
• Use case: Designed for short-distance electrical 10G links (server interconnects, uplinks)
• Power: Low power consumption appropriate for high-density equipment

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server or network appliance while the host device is powered on or off, following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect the two endpoints using a compatible twinax or copper SFP+ cable rated for 10Gbps. After insertion, confirm link status and speed through the host device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, follow the host equipment’s procedures to avoid physical stress on ports and cables.

Recommendations

Use short-length, certified copper SFP+ cables for reliable 10Gbps operation and ensure both ends use compatible SFP+ ports. Verify firmware and compatibility lists for the host device if available, and place modules where airflow and ambient temperature meet the network equipment’s specifications to maintain performance and longevity.
