SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps 10GBASE-T RJ45

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a BlueOptics SFP+ copper transceiver designed to provide 10 Gbps 10GBASE-T connectivity over standard RJ45 cabling. Intended for insertion into SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network appliances, this module enables short-range 10G copper links while maintaining compatibility with existing Cat6/Cat6A copper infrastructure. The transceiver supports hot-pluggable installation and is built to meet typical data center and enterprise networking requirements for high-speed Ethernet on copper media.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers 10 Gbps data rate with RJ45 termination, allowing straightforward migration from Gigabit copper networks to 10G without replacing cabling in many environments. The small form factor fits SFP+ ports, supports hot-swap installation and reduces the need for separate copper-only ports. It is suitable for short reach applications where fiber is unnecessary, simplifying deployment and allowing reuse of existing copper cabling and RJ45 patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10G switches, servers and storage appliances over copper
• Upgrading data center access or aggregation links to 10G over existing Cat6/Cat6A cabling
• Short-range 10G links inside wiring closets and equipment racks
• Environments where RJ45 termination and easy copper patching are required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T)
• Media type: Twisted-pair copper (Cat6/Cat6A recommended for 10G)
• Typical reach: short-range 10G over copper (designed for up to 80 meters under appropriate cabling and conditions)
• Hot-pluggable support for SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a free SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, server or network appliance until it latches. Connect a standard RJ45 cable of appropriate category (Cat6/Cat6A recommended for reliable 10G performance) between the transceiver and the remote RJ45 port. Configure the link speed and duplex settings on the devices if necessary; many devices negotiate 10G automatically. Follow the host equipment vendor’s guidance for module compatibility and any required firmware or driver settings.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable 10GBASE-T performance, use high-quality Cat6A cabling or certified Cat6 installations and minimize electromagnetic interference. Verify compatibility with your network equipment’s SFP+ copper module support and monitor link status after installation. For runs approaching the module’s maximum supported distance, test throughput and latency under real-world load to confirm satisfactory operation.
