SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps 80 m over Cat6a/Cat7

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is an SFP+ copper transceiver that provides 10 Gbps connectivity over RJ45 twisted-pair cabling. Designed for short-range 10G links, it supports typical reach up to 80 metres when used with Cat6a or Cat7 cable and fits standard SFP+ ports on switches, routers and servers. The module enables 10G server uplinks and equipment interconnects without the need for fiber optics, simplifying deployment in racks, aggregation layers and small data centre installations.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps performance over existing copper infrastructure and is hot-pluggable for easy installation into SFP+ ports. Its RJ45 interface allows direct connection to Ethernet twisted-pair cabling, reducing the need for media converters or additional fiber cabling. Compact SFP+ form factor saves port space and supports standard SFP+ link negotiation and management features, making it suitable for mixed media networks.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links between switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and aggregation layer uplinks in data centres
• Retrofitting 10G connectivity over existing Cat6a/Cat7 cable plants
• Interconnects between routers, firewalls and network appliances

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (full duplex)
• Typical reach: up to 80 metres over Cat6a or Cat7
• Cabling: Unshielded or shielded twisted-pair copper (Cat6a/Cat7 recommended)
• Operational mode: Short-range 10G copper transceiver
• Hot-pluggable module compatible with standard SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or server while the host device is powered on or in accordance with the device guidance for hot-plug operations. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable of appropriate category (Cat6a or Cat7 recommended) between the transceiver and the corresponding network equipment. Verify link status and negotiated speed through the host device management interface and ensure firmware or driver compatibility if required by the network equipment vendor.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use Cat6a or Cat7 cabling, keep cable runs within the typical 80 m reach, and confirm compatibility with the switch or server vendor. Ensure proper airflow and rack mounting to avoid overheating in high-density deployments.
