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

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a 10 Gbps SFP+ copper transceiver with an RJ45 interface engineered for short-range Ethernet connections up to 80 meters over Cat6/Cat6a cabling. Designed for use in SFP+ ports on switches, routers and servers, the module enables hot-pluggable 10 Gigabit copper links without requiring fiber optics. It provides a practical option for upgrading existing structured cabling to 10G bandwidth in data centers, server rooms and enterprise wiring closets.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver supports full 10 Gbps throughput over standard twisted-pair cabling, allowing low-latency, high-bandwidth links without fiber termination. Its RJ45 connector simplifies integration with existing Cat6/Cat6a cabling and reduces the need for additional media conversion equipment. The hot-pluggable design permits installation or replacement without powering down the host device, and the compact SFP+ form factor conserves port density in networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Upgrading 1G copper ports to 10G on switches and routers
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches over existing Cat6/Cat6a cabling
• Short-reach aggregation links in data centers and server rooms
• Network equipment labs and test environments requiring 10G copper links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over Cat6/Cat6a
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Cable type: Unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Cat6/Cat6a
• Power consumption: typical for 10G copper SFP+ modules (refer to device documentation)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or server until it latches. Connect the RJ45 end to the network cable leading to the remote device. The module supports hot-plug installation, but observe standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling. After insertion, verify link status and speed on the host device and ensure the connected cable meets Cat6 or Cat6a specifications for 10G operation.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use certified Cat6a cabling for runs approaching the 80 m maximum and consider shielded cabling in electrically noisy environments. Confirm host device compatibility with SFP+ copper modules and check firmware or transceiver compatibility lists if available. Monitor temperature and airflow in high-density installations to maintain stable operation.
