SFP-10G Copper RJ45 Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-LS-BO 10 Gbps

The SFP-10G Copper RJ45 Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-LS-BO 10 Gbps is a compact, hot-pluggable SFP+ module that provides 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Designed for insertion into SFP+ ports on compatible switches, routers and servers, this copper transceiver enables short-range 10 Gigabit links using Cat6 or Cat6a cabling where supported. The module is intended for network upgrades and mixed-media environments that require copper connectivity without the need to replace existing RJ45 infrastructure.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers 10 Gbps throughput in a small SFP+ form factor, allowing use of existing copper cabling and RJ45 ports while saving space in equipment racks. Its hot-pluggable design permits installation or replacement without powering down the host device, simplifying maintenance and minimizing downtime. Compatibility with SFP+ slots on a wide range of enterprise switches, routers and servers enables flexible deployment for short-distance 10G links over Cat6/Cat6a.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Upgrading access switches to 10 Gbps over existing copper cabling
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches where short copper runs are available
• Mixed-media network environments requiring both fiber and copper SFP+ connectivity
• Temporary or lab connections for testing 10G Ethernet on RJ45 infrastructure

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ host connector with RJ45 copper network port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (full duplex)
• Cabling: Supports Cat6 and Cat6a copper cabling for short-range 10G links
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable SFP+ module
• Operating mode: 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper
• Typical reach: Short-range links over shielded/unshielded twisted pair (dependent on cable quality and installation)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then connect the RJ45 network cable to the module. Ensure the connected copper cabling meets Cat6 or Cat6a specifications and that link aggregation or port settings on the host device are configured as required. Monitor link status via the device management interface and verify 10 Gbps operation. The hot-pluggable design allows you to install or remove the module while the host device remains powered, but follow the host vendor’s guidance for safe hot-swap procedures.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use high-quality Cat6a cabling and proper terminations. Keep cable runs within recommended distances for 10G over copper and confirm compatibility with the host equipment’s SFP+ port. Follow ESD precautions when handling the module and consult your network equipment documentation for any vendor-specific settings or firmware requirements.
