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

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is an SFP+ copper transceiver that provides 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over a standard RJ45 connector. It is designed for short-range links and enables 10G copper connections between switches, servers or network appliances when installed in devices with SFP+ ports. The module supports transmission distances up to 80 metres when used with appropriate cabling such as Cat6a or Cat7, offering a practical alternative to fiber for many access layer and aggregation scenarios.

Advantages

The SFP+ copper transceiver delivers low-latency 10 Gbps performance while using familiar RJ45 cabling. Its compact SFP+ form factor saves space in equipment chassis compared with fixed RJ45 ports, allowing flexible port usage and hot-swappable replacement. Compatibility with Cat6a/Cat7 cabling simplifies deployment in existing structured cabling environments and reduces the need for optical transceivers and patching when short copper runs are sufficient.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links in data centers and wiring closets
• Server uplinks to top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Access layer upgrades where fiber is not required
• Environments with existing Cat6a or Cat7 structured cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ45, SFP+ form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Maximum reach: up to 80 metres over Cat6a/Cat7
• Media type: copper twisted pair (shielded or unshielded as per cabling)
• Connector: 8P8C (standard RJ45)

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, server or network appliance until it seats securely. Connect a compliant Cat6a or Cat7 RJ45 patch cable between the module and the remote device. Ensure both ends negotiate 10 Gbps link speed and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. The module is hot-pluggable; power cycling is not required for insertion or removal in most systems, but follow host equipment guidance for safe handling.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps operation up to 80 metres, use certified Cat6a or Cat7 cables and quality RJ45 connectors. Keep cable runs within published distance limits and avoid excessive bends, kinks or sources of electromagnetic interference. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and SFP+ port specifications before deployment to ensure link stability.
