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

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a compact SFP+ Ethernet copper transceiver that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over an RJ45 interface with a maximum reach of up to 80 metres. Intended for use with Cat6/Cat6a structured cabling, this hot-swappable module integrates into SFP+ ports on switches, routers and servers to enable 10 Gigabit copper links without changing existing active equipment. It supports standard SFP+ form factor compatibility and is suitable for short-distance 10G deployments in data centres, wiring closets and equipment rooms.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10 Gbps performance over widely available twisted-pair cabling, enabling cost-effective upgrades from lower-speed copper ports to 10 Gigabit links. Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor allows installation or replacement without powering down devices. Compatibility with standard RJ45 terminations simplifies integration into existing Cat6/Cat6a infrastructure while maintaining predictable latency and throughput for server uplinks and switch-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• Upgrading SFP+ ports on switches and routers to 10 Gbps copper links
• 10 Gigabit server uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Short-reach 10G links in data centres, wiring closets and network rooms
• Environments using Cat6 or Cat6a copper structured cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Interface: RJ45 (10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 metres over Cat6/Cat6a
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-swappable)
• Cabling: supports Cat6 and Cat6a twisted-pair copper

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server until it clicks into place. Connect a properly rated Cat6 or Cat6a RJ45 patch cable between the transceiver and the remote device. Verify link negotiation and 10 Gbps operation via the host device management interface or indicator LEDs. To remove, disengage any retention mechanism and pull the module straight out while the device is powered on; the hot-swappable design permits replacement without shutting down the host equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use certified Cat6a cabling for runs approaching the maximum reach and ensure high-quality RJ45 terminations. Verify that the host device firmware and driver support third-party SFP+ copper modules to avoid interoperability restrictions. Keep the module dust-free when not in use and avoid exceeding the specified reach to maintain link stability.
