CBO transceiver SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps SFP+ copper RJ45 80 m

The CBO transceiver SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a 10 Gbps SFP+ copper module with an RJ45 interface, intended for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over structured copper cabling. The module supports transmission distances up to 80 m when used with Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and is compatible with standard SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network appliances. It provides a compact alternative to fiber for environments that require high throughput on existing copper infrastructure.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers 10 Gbps full-duplex performance in a hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor, simplifying upgrades to higher-speed links without changing the host hardware. The RJ45 connector allows direct connection to copper Ethernet cabling, removing the need for fiber transceivers, patch panels or media converters for short runs. Its support for Cat6a/Cat7 cabling and an 80 m reach make it suitable for many intra-rack and short inter-rack connections while keeping latency and power consumption low.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within data centers and wiring closets
• Short-range 10 Gigabit connections over existing Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling
• Edge and enterprise network appliances requiring SFP+ RJ45 connectivity
• Environments where fiber is impractical or where copper cabling is already installed

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Connector: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 m over Cat6a/Cat7 cabling
• Supported media: twisted-pair copper (10GBASE-T)
• Power and thermal: designed for low power consumption consistent with SFP+ copper modules

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-RJ45-80M into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server NIC or network appliance while the host device is powered on or during maintenance windows according to the equipment’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect the RJ45 plug into the module and route the Cat6a or Cat7 twisted-pair cable to the distant port. Verify link negotiation at 10 Gbps on both ends and confirm proper duplex and error statistics through the host device’s management interface. If link parameters do not match, check cable category, cable length, and port settings such as speed and auto-negotiation.

Recommendations

Use Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance and keep runs within the specified 80 m maximum. Ensure the host equipment supports SFP+ copper modules and that firmware or driver firmware is up to date to avoid compatibility issues. For environments with electromagnetic interference or longer distances, consider fiber options instead of copper.
