SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO BO08J78S6 10G RJ45 1-port

The SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO BO08J78S6 10G RJ45 1-port is a small-form pluggable module that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a standard RJ45 copper interface. Designed for use in switches, routers and servers with SFP+ slots, this transceiver supports 10GBASE-T links over Cat6/Cat6a cabling for short to mid-range connections. The module enables integration of copper 10G ports without replacing existing network equipment and suits environments where copper cabling is preferred or already installed.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers a compact, hot-pluggable solution for adding 10G RJ45 connectivity to SFP+ ports. It supports established Ethernet cabling standards, simplifies hardware upgrades by avoiding changes to existing switch linecards, and reduces the need for fiber transceivers and media converters in copper-dominant installations. The module is engineered for compatibility with typical data center and enterprise network equipment and provides low-latency performance appropriate for uplinks and server connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches within rack and data hall environments
• Server connections requiring 10G copper ports
• Network equipment upgrades where existing copper cabling is to be reused
• Short- to mid-range links over Cat6/Cat6a cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T)
• Cabling: Compatible with Cat6 and Cat6a copper cables for intended distances
• Port count: 1 port, hot-pluggable module
• Typical applications: switch uplinks, server NCs, top-of-rack connections
• Latency: Low-latency design suitable for latency-sensitive traffic

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or server while the host port is powered down if recommended by the equipment vendor. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to the transceiver’s copper port and to the remote device. Ensure the connected cabling meets Cat6 or Cat6a specifications for 10G operation and verify link status through the host device’s management interface. Monitor temperature and operational LEDs according to the host equipment documentation and update firmware or driver settings if required by the network vendor for module recognition.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use quality Cat6a cabling for longer 10G runs and keep cable lengths within the supported distance for 10GBASE-T. Verify compatibility with the host device vendor and review any vendor-specific configuration or firmware requirements before deployment.
