SFP+ 10 Gbps Copper RJ45 Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M

The SFP+ 10 Gbps Copper RJ45 Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a compact, hot-pluggable module that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Designed for insertion into SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network devices, this transceiver enables short-reach 10G links using Cat6 or Cat6a copper cables up to the indicated reach. The module supports physical 10GBASE-T interface characteristics and is intended for environments where copper connectivity, easy installation and SFP+ form factor compatibility are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps performance over readily available copper infrastructure, avoiding the need for fiber in short-distance links. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies upgrades and maintenance without powering down equipment. The module is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common Cat6/Cat6a cabling, making it a practical choice for data centers, top-of-rack switches and server uplinks where copper 10G is preferred.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10G uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch 10G connections in rack environments
• Data center top-of-rack deployments using copper cabling
• Network equipment requiring SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper interface

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T compatible)
• Medium: Category 6 / Category 6a twisted-pair copper cabling
• Reach: short-reach over copper (up to the indicated maximum for Cat6/Cat6a)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Connector: Standard 8P8C (RJ45)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a vacant SFP+ port of a compatible switch, server or network device until it seats securely. Connect a Cat6 or Cat6a RJ45 patch cable between the transceiver and the remote RJ45 port. Ensure both ends of the link are configured for 10 Gbps operation according to device settings and that link negotiation or fixed speed is set consistently. The module supports hot-plug operation, so it can be installed or removed while equipment remains powered, following standard ESD precautions.

Recommendations

Use Cat6a cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance at longer short-reach distances; keep cable runs within the specified limits and follow proper cable management to minimize EMI. Verify compatibility with the host device and apply any vendor-specific configuration or firmware requirements before deployment.
