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

The SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M enables 10 Gbps Ethernet connections over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Designed for short-reach links up to 80 m on appropriate Cat6a or Cat7 cable, this transceiver fits SFP+ ports and installs directly into compatible switches, servers and network devices to provide 10G connectivity without the need for fiber. It supports typical data center and enterprise uplink scenarios where 10G over copper is preferred or required.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper module provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for 10 Gbps links using existing copper infrastructure, reducing the need for fiber runs in short-distance deployments. It is suitable for straightforward integration into SFP+ ports, minimizing hardware changes when upgrading uplinks. The device is engineered for stable 10G performance over Cat6a/Cat7 cabling up to the specified distance and offers compatibility with common network equipment that accepts SFP+ copper transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G uplinks between switches and servers
• Data center top-of-rack connections where copper is preferred
• Campus network links and wiring closets using Cat6a/Cat7
• Equipment rooms requiring cost-effective 10G over copper

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters on Cat6a or Cat7 cable
• Cabling type: twisted-pair copper (Cat6a / Cat7 recommended)
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Use environment: indoor network installations (switches, servers, racks)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch or network device until it clicks into place, then connect a suitable RJ45 terminated Cat6a or Cat7 cable between devices. Confirm link negotiation and 10 Gbps operation through the device management interface or indicator LEDs. If necessary, verify compatibility and any vendor-specific SFP+ settings on the switch prior to deployment.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cables and verify cable terminations to ensure reliable 10G performance up to the specified 80 m reach. Avoid running copper cabling near significant sources of electromagnetic interference and follow standard installation practices for bend radius and cable management.
