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

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 is a BlueOptics SFP+ copper transceiver that delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over an RJ45 interface. Designed for short-reach connections, this single-port module plugs into SFP+ slots on network switches, routers or servers and provides 10 Gigabit connectivity over standard copper cabling. It enables upgrading of existing SFP+ ports to support copper-based 10G links while remaining compatible with Cat6/Cat6a infrastructure.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver supports 10 Gbps data rates with low-latency operation and straightforward RJ45 connectivity, removing the need for fiber optics in short-distance links. Its compact SFP+ form factor saves space in equipment bays and offers hot-pluggable convenience for easy installation and replacement. The module is suitable for environments where existing copper cabling is preferred and where a cost-effective path to 10G is required.

Suitable for

• Upgrading SFP+ ports on switches and servers to 10 Gigabit copper links
• Short-reach 10G connections within racks or between nearby network closets
• Environments using Cat6 or Cat6a cabling for high-speed Ethernet
• Network consolidation where fiber is not necessary or available

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Media type: Twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat6/Cat6a recommended)
• Reach: Short-reach copper links (typical distances depend on cable category and installation)
• Compatibility: Designed for direct attachment to SFP+ slots on network equipment supporting copper transceivers

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on the switch, router or server until it latches. Connect an RJ45 patch cable from the transceiver to the target device or network outlet. Ensure the connected port is configured for 10 Gbps operation in the host device and that cable category meets recommended specifications. For removal, unlatch the module and pull it straight out to avoid damaging the slot.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance at typical short-reach distances; verify equipment compatibility with copper SFP+ modules and set port speed manually if auto-negotiation does not establish a 10G link.
