SFP+ copper RJ45 transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps, 80 m over Cat6a/Cat7

The SFP+ copper RJ45 transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M provides 10 Gbps connectivity through a standard RJ45 copper interface. Designed for SFP+ slots on switches, routers and network interface cards, this module enables short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over structured cabling. It supports distances up to 80 m when used with suitable Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and is intended for environments where fiber optics are unnecessary or where copper uplinks are preferred.

Advantages

This SFP+ RJ45 transceiver delivers 10 Gbps throughput in a compact SFP+ form factor, allowing flexible port use and hot-pluggable replacement. The copper interface simplifies connectivity with existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure and reduces the need for fiber transceivers or media converters. Compatibility with Cat6a/Cat7 cabling offers predictable short-reach performance up to 80 m, making it practical for data center aggregation, server connections and access switch uplinks.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation devices within the same equipment room
• Server-to-switch connections in rack and row layouts
• Short-reach campus or POP links where fiber is not available
• Upgrading existing copper infrastructure to 10 Gbps without replacing cabling in many cases

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 m over Cat6a or Cat7 cabling
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Media: twisted-pair copper (unshielded or shielded depending on cable type), 4-pair
• Operating environment: typical enterprise and data center ambient conditions

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, router or network adapter until it clicks into place. Connect a Cat6a or Cat7 RJ45 patch cable between this module and the remote device. Ensure both ends are seated securely and verify the network interface status via device LEDs or management software. Configure the device network settings as required for 10 Gigabit operation and check link negotiation to confirm full-duplex 10 Gbps connectivity.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and quality RJ45 connectors to achieve the specified 80 m range. Verify compatibility with your network equipment firmware and vendor-supported transceivers; test links after installation and monitor link statistics for error counters and performance. For distances beyond 80 m or when electromagnetic interference is a concern, consider fiber-based SFP+ modules.
