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

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a Copper SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gbps short-reach Ethernet links over structured copper cabling. Intended for direct insertion into SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network interface cards, this module enables 10 Gigabit connections over Cat6a or Cat7 cabling with a typical reach of up to 80 meters. It provides a practical alternative to fiber for environments where existing copper infrastructure is preferred and supports standard 10GBASE-T Ethernet signaling for compatibility with 10G equipment.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver delivers 10 Gbps performance while using familiar RJ45 copper cabling, avoiding the need for fiber termination or additional optical transceivers. Its compact SFP+ form factor allows direct installation into standard SFP+ ports, conserving slot space and simplifying hot-swap replacements. The module supports short-reach high-speed links over Cat6a/Cat7, making it suitable for data center aggregation, server uplinks and top-of-rack connections where fiber deployment is not required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches in server rooms and small data centers
• Direct 10G connections to servers and network interface cards (NICs)
• Short-reach aggregation links over Cat6a or Cat7 structured cabling
• Environments where copper cabling is already installed and fiber is undesirable

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 Ethernet port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T compatible)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over Cat6a or Cat7 cabling
• Transmission medium: copper twisted-pair cable (Cat6a/Cat7)
• Compatibility: fits standard SFP+ ports on switches, servers and NICs

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on your switch, server or NIC until it engages securely. Connect a certified Cat6a or Cat7 RJ45 cable between the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure both ends are configured for 10G operation if manual configuration is required by your equipment. Verify link status and speed via the device management interface or indicator LEDs to confirm a stable 10 Gbps connection.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat6a or Cat7 cables and follow proper cable management to maintain signal integrity. For optimal performance, keep cable lengths within the recommended maximum of 80 meters and verify device compatibility with SFP+ copper modules prior to deployment.
