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

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a BlueOptics SFP+ copper transceiver that provides 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Designed for short-range links up to 80 metres, the module fits into SFP+ ports on compatible switches, routers and network interface cards to enable low-latency, high-speed copper connections in data centre access layers, server rooms and aggregation points.

Advantages

The transceiver supports full 10 Gbps throughput while using familiar Cat6/Cat6A cabling practices, reducing the need for fibre on short runs. Hot-pluggable SFP+ format allows replacement or upgrades without shutting down systems. The RJ45 interface offers broad compatibility with existing copper infrastructure and simplifies installation for 10 Gigabit links. Low-latency operation and compact SFP+ size make it suitable where space and performance are important.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation devices within 80 m
• Server-to-switch connections in rack or row environments
• Access layer links in data centres and wiring closets
• Network interface card (NIC) upgrades that require SFP+ copper modules

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Maximum supported link length: up to 80 metres over suitable copper cabling
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Operating medium: twisted-pair copper (Cat6/Cat6A recommended)
• Typical application: short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or NIC until it latches. Connect the module to the remote device using a suitable shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors, observing the recommended cabling category for the desired link length and signal integrity. Ensure both ends support 10 Gbps operation and configure link settings on the devices if necessary. Monitor link status LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a stable 10 Gbps connection.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance up to 80 m, use high-quality Cat6A or certified Cat6 cable with correct terminations and grounding. Verify switch and NIC compatibility with SFP+ copper modules and check firmware or vendor support notes if auto-negotiation or link issues occur. Avoid bending or kinking cables near connectors and maintain proper cable management to reduce interference and ensure consistent throughput.
