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 module that delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over an RJ45 interface for short-reach connections. It is designed for use in SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network appliances where copper twisted-pair cabling is preferred over fiber. The module supports link lengths up to 80 meters when used with appropriate cabling such as Cat6a or Cat7 and provides a compact hot-pluggable option to add 10G copper connectivity to compatible equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbps data throughput using standard RJ45 copper infrastructure, enabling cost-effective upgrades without replacing existing copper cabling in short-reach scenarios. Its SFP+ form factor allows hot-pluggable installation in compatible ports, minimizing downtime. Support for Cat6a/Cat7 cabling ensures reliable performance up to the supported distance and interoperability with standard Ethernet copper installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G links between switches and network appliances
• 10G server uplinks in data center topologies where fiber is not required
• Upgrading existing copper infrastructure to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Environments where hot-swappable SFP+ modules simplify maintenance

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Maximum supported link length: up to 80 meters over suitable twisted-pair cabling
• Cable types: designed for Cat6a and Cat7 twisted-pair cabling
• Installation: hot-pluggable module for compatible SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, server or network appliance while the device is powered according to the vendor's recommendations for hot-plugging. Connect the RJ45 connector to the twisted-pair cable (Cat6a or Cat7 recommended) and ensure the remote endpoint is configured for 10 Gbps operation. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and adjust port settings if necessary to match duplex and flow control requirements.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and maintain proper cable management to achieve reliable 10G links at the specified distance. Check device compatibility lists and firmware requirements from the equipment vendor to ensure proper operation of SFP+ copper modules in your hardware. For runs approaching the maximum supported length, test link performance and consider environmental factors such as electromagnetic interference when routing cables.
