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

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a SFP+ copper transceiver that supports 10 Gbps 10GBASE-T over standard RJ45 connectors. Designed for insertion into SFP+ ports, the module provides up to 80 meters reach when used with Cat6a or Cat7 cabling. The transceiver enables hot-pluggable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, servers and storage systems while keeping the convenience of copper-based RJ45 connectivity.

Advantages

The module offers 10 Gbps throughput with backward-compatible RJ45 interface, allowing simple integration into existing copper cabling infrastructure without requiring fiber optics. Its SFP+ form factor supports hot-plug installation and compact port density. With support for up to 80 meters over Cat6a/Cat7, the transceiver balances performance and cost for short-range 10G links in data centers and enterprise wiring closets.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches in data centers and server rooms
• Direct connections from servers or storage appliances to top-of-rack switches
• Upgrading existing copper cabling to 10GBASE-T without replacing patch panels
• Short-distance 10G links in enterprise network closets and wiring runs

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 connector
• Standard: 10GBASE-T Ethernet
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over Cat6a or Cat7 cabling
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Cable type: copper twisted-pair (shielded or unshielded as per cabling category)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server NIC or storage device while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Connect a Cat6a or Cat7 RJ45 patch cable between the transceiver and the corresponding network port. Verify link negotiation and speed on the host device's management interface and ensure the connected ports are configured for 10G operation if required. For hot-plugging, follow the equipment vendor's instructions to avoid transient link issues.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and compliant RJ45 connectors to achieve the specified 80-meter reach at 10 Gbps. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment's SFP+ ports and firmware; test links after installation to verify link speed and error rates.
