Copper 10G SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-NV-BO (10 Gbit/s, RJ45)

The Copper 10G SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-NV-BO is a hot-pluggable 10 Gbit/s copper SFP module with an RJ45 interface, designed to provide short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard copper cabling. Intended for SFP ports that support 10GBASE-T, this transceiver integrates into switches, routers and servers to deliver high-speed connectivity in data center and enterprise environments while using Cat6 or Cat6a cabling.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports 10 Gbit/s data rates and RJ45 connectivity to enable straightforward deployment without the need for fiber infrastructure for short runs. Hot-pluggable design allows insertion and removal without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance windows. Compatibility with standard Cat6 and Cat6a cables provides cost-effective cabling options, and the compact SFP form factor frees up module slots compared with larger copper adapters.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks or between adjacent racks
• Upgrading switches and servers with SFP ports to 10GBASE-T connectivity
• Data center leaf/spine connections where fiber is not required
• Enterprise network aggregation and uplink ports

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ45 (10GBASE-T)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Suitable cable types: Cat6, Cat6a copper cabling
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Typical reach: short-range links over copper (varies with cable quality and environment)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, server or network device until it clicks into place. Connect a suitable Cat6 or Cat6a RJ45 patch cable between the transceiver and the remote RJ45 port. Ensure the host port supports 10GBASE-T and configure link settings on the device if required. The module is hot-pluggable, so it can be installed or replaced without powering down the equipment; follow your device vendor’s procedures for safe handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat6a cabling for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance at longer short-range distances and verify switch firmware/support for third-party SFP copper modules. Keep connectors and cable terminations clean, and follow ESD-safe handling when installing the transceiver.
