SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 10G Base-T RJ45 module

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 is a compact SFP+ copper transceiver module that delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard RJ45 connectors (10G Base-T). Designed for insertion into compatible SFP+ ports on switches and routers, the module enables cost-effective copper connectivity for short to moderate distances using Cat6 or Cat6a cabling. The transceiver supports hot-plug installation and follows the SFP+ form factor for straightforward upgrades and incremental network expansion.

Advantages

The SFP+ copper transceiver provides 10 Gbps performance while using familiar RJ45 cabling, reducing the need for new fiber infrastructure when upgrading uplinks or server connections. Its SFP+ form factor conserves slot space compared with larger fixed RJ45 interfaces and allows flexible use across devices that accept SFP+ modules. Hot-plug capability simplifies replacement and installation without powering down equipment. The product is suitable for environments where existing copper cabling infrastructure is available and cost control is a priority.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation points over copper
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers or server rooms using Cat6/Cat6a
• Upgrading hybrid networks where fiber is not required or available
• Short-to-moderate distance connections within buildings or campus networks

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T)
• Cable types supported: Cat6 and Cat6a (recommended for 10G)
• Distance range: short-to-moderate over copper (typical up to 30–100 m depending on cable quality and environment)
• Installation: hot-pluggable module
• Operating environment: suitable for standard indoor networking equipment racks and enclosures

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch or router until it latches securely. Connect a properly rated Cat6 or Cat6a RJ45 cable to the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure both ends of the link are configured for 10G operation and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. For hot-swap replacement, remove the module using the release mechanism provided by the host device and insert the replacement while the system remains powered, observing ESD precautions.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a cabling for reliable 10G performance at longer copper distances and minimize electromagnetic interference by routing cables away from noisy power sources. Verify compatibility lists of the host devices if hardware validation is required. Follow standard ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the module.
