SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 10 Gbps RJ45 copper 10GBase-T module

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 10 Gbps RJ45 copper 10GBase-T module is a compact SFP+ transceiver designed to provide 10 gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. Intended for insertion into SFP+ slots of switches, routers and servers, this module supports short-range 10GBase-T links and offers hot-pluggable convenience for rapid deployment or replacement in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers 10 Gbps throughput over familiar RJ45 copper interfaces, allowing reuse of existing Cat6/Cat6a cabling for short distances. Its SFP+ form factor enables flexible port use in devices with SFP+ slots, and hot-pluggable operation reduces downtime during upgrades or maintenance. The module is interoperable with standard 10GBase-T equipment and is suitable for mixed-fiber and copper network architectures where copper connectivity is required.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in wiring closets and racks
• Server connections requiring 10 Gbps copper ports
• Short-range campus or data center links over Cat6/Cat6a cabling
• Network equipment with SFP+ slots that need RJ45 copper interfaces

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBase-T)
• Interface: RJ45 (twisted-pair copper)
• Form factor: SFP+ (SFP compatible physical size for 10G)
• Cabling: Suitable for Cat6 / Cat6a twisted-pair copper cables for short-range links
• Distance: Short-range operation over copper (distance depends on cable category and environment)
• Hot-pluggable: Supports insertion/removal without powering down host device

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-RJ45 module into an available SFP+ slot on a switch, router or server until it latches. Connect a compatible Cat6 or Cat6a RJ45 patch cable between the module and the remote device. Verify link status and speed on the host device operating system or network management interface and configure network settings as required. For safe removal, disable the port in the host device if supported, then press the module latch and pull the module straight out.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6 or Cat6a cabling for reliable 10 Gbps links and keep cable runs within recommended distances for copper 10GBase-T to ensure stable performance. Check compatibility with the host device firmware and configure auto-negotiation or fixed speed settings according to network design. Avoid excessive bending or tension on the RJ45 cable and maintain proper airflow around the transceiver slot to prevent overheating.
