SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps, 10GBase-T, RJ45, up to 80 m

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is an SFP+ copper transceiver designed for 10 Gbps Ethernet over RJ45. It provides 10GBase-T connectivity through standard Cat6 or Cat6a twisted-pair cabling, enabling links up to 80 meters. The module uses a compact SFP+ form factor for hot-pluggable operation, allowing flexible port deployment and simple upgrades of switches, servers and other network devices in data centres and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The transceiver supports full 10 Gbps throughput over copper with backward compatibility to lower speeds where supported by the host device. Its SFP+ form factor reduces space requirements compared with fixed RJ45 ports and allows hot-swap replacement without powering down equipment. Using standard Cat6/Cat6a cabling simplifies installation and leverages existing structured cabling. The module is suited for point-to-point connections between switches, servers and storage systems within short rack-to-rack or within-room distances.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps short-distance links in data centres
• Connecting servers and top-of-rack switches over structured Cat6/Cat6a cabling
• Upgrading SFP+ ports to copper connectivity without changing existing infrastructure
• Network equipment requiring hot-pluggable 10GBase-T interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ45 8P8C copper
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBase-T)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 metres over Cat6/Cat6a
• Media: Unshielded or shielded twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat6/Cat6a)
• Power and thermal characteristics: designed for typical SFP+ port power envelopes (refer to host documentation)
• Compatibility: works with SFP+ ports supporting 10GBase-T copper transceivers

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, server or adapter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an RJ45 terminated Cat6 or Cat6a cable to the transceiver and the remote device. Verify link negotiation and configure port settings on the host as required for 10GBase-T operation. Monitor link status and thermal/power parameters via the host management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance up to 80 metres, use high-quality Cat6a or certified Cat6 cabling and ensure connectors and patch panels meet channel specifications. Check host device compatibility with SFP+ copper modules and keep firmware updated. Allow adequate ventilation around the host and monitor port temperatures when multiple copper transceivers are in use.
