SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 10GBase-T 10 Gbps

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 is an SFP+ copper transceiver that provides 10GBase-T connectivity over RJ45 for 10 Gbps Ethernet links. It is designed for hot-plug insertion into SFP+ ports on switches, servers and other network equipment, enabling direct connection to copper cabling systems using Cat6, Cat6a or Cat7 cables. The module supports short-to-medium distance deployments where 10 Gbps copper links are required and simplifies retrofitting or upgrading existing copper infrastructure to 10G speeds.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over widely used RJ45 interfaces, allowing use of standard copper twisted-pair cabling without the need for fiber optics. Its SFP+ form factor conserves port density and permits flexible port population on compatible devices. Compatibility with Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7 cabling supports practical reach for data center top-of-rack, server uplinks and aggregation switches. The module is designed for straightforward installation and removal, enabling network changes with minimal downtime.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch uplinks to 10 Gbps over existing copper cabling
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches where fiber is not available
• Short-to-medium distance 10G links in wiring closets and small data centers
• Equipment requiring SFP+ form factor copper transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 copper port
• Protocol: 10GBase-T (10 Gbps Ethernet over twisted pair)
• Cable type: Cat6 / Cat6a / Cat7 twisted-pair copper cabling
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Typical reach: short-to-medium distances over copper (dependent on cable category and environment)

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-RJ45 transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port until it seats securely. Connect an appropriate RJ45 twisted-pair cable (Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7) between the transceiver and the network endpoint. Ensure connected devices are configured for 10GBase-T operation and verify link status using the host device management interface. For removal, power down or disable the port if required by the equipment, then press the transceiver latch and carefully pull the module out.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance at longer copper distances; verify compatibility with the host equipment and update firmware if vendor guidance specifies. Keep electromagnetic interference sources and unshielded power cabling separate from Ethernet runs to maintain signal integrity.
