CBO Transceiver SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps RJ45 10G SFP module for copper up to 80 m

The CBO Transceiver SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a 10 Gbps RJ45 SFP module designed for copper cabling, supporting distances up to 80 metres. It fits SFP+ ports on switches and servers and provides a straightforward way to add 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over existing Cat6/Cat6a/compatible copper infrastructure without changing the transceiver form factor.

Advantages

This 10 Gbps RJ45 SFP module delivers high-speed connectivity while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ45 copper cabling. Its small form factor allows installation in devices with SFP+ slots, enabling flexible uplink or server connections. By using copper media it reduces the need for fibre upgrades and simplifies deployment in environments where structured copper cabling is already installed.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch uplinks to 10 Gigabit over existing copper cabling
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack or aggregation switches via SFP+ ports
• Short-distance data centre interconnects and rack-to-rack links up to 80 m
• Environments where fibre optics are not available or where copper is preferred for cost or compatibility reasons

Key specifications

• Network speed: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ45 (copper)
• Supported reach over copper: up to 80 metres (dependent on cable category and installation quality)
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible transceiver module for devices with SFP/SFP+ ports
• Media: twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat6/Cat6a or equivalent recommended)
• Application: short-reach copper links for uplinks, server connections and data centre use

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-RJ45-80M transceiver into an available SFP/SFP+ slot on a compatible switch or server until it clicks into place. Connect a suitable RJ45 copper Ethernet cable from the transceiver to the corresponding network endpoint. Ensure the connected devices are configured for 10 Gigabit operation and check link status through the device management interface. When removing the module, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor and gently extract the module using the built-in latch.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable 10 Gbps links up to 80 metres, use high-quality Cat6a or Cat6 cabling installed according to industry standards and minimise electromagnetic interference. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and consult switch or server documentation for supported transceiver models and any required configuration or firmware updates.
