SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-BC-BO 10Gbit/s RJ-45 up to 80m

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-BC-BO is a 10Gbit/s SFP transceiver with an RJ-45 interface that enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling. Designed to plug into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, routers and servers, this module supports data transmission distances up to 80 meters over Cat6/Cat6a cable. The module provides a compact alternative to fiber optics where copper infrastructure is preferred or already installed, making it suitable for short-range, high-speed links in enterprise and data center environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbit/s throughput with an RJ-45 connector for direct copper connections, simplifying installation on existing copper cabling. Its compact SFP form factor saves slot space compared with larger interfaces and allows flexible deployment in devices with SFP/SFP+ ports. The unit supports standard Ethernet signalling over Cat6/Cat6a cable and is suitable for short-range links up to 80 meters, reducing the need for fiber termination and media conversion.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit uplinks in data centers and server rooms
• Network expansion where existing copper cabling is used
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Environments where fiber is not required or cabling cost should be minimized

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ-45 (copper) in SFP form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Maximum reach: up to 80 m over Cat6/Cat6a
• Compatible with standard SFP/SFP+ ports supporting copper 10G modules
• Physical: compact SFP module size for hot-pluggable installation

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP/SFP+ port until it seats and the retention latch engages. Connect an appropriate Cat6 or Cat6a copper cable to the RJ-45 jack on the module, ensuring proper cable terminations and connectors. Configure the connected network device as required for 10G operation and verify link status and speed through the device management interface. For safe removal, disable the port if necessary and depress the latch to extract the module.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6 or Cat6a cables and maintain maximum cable length within 80 meters to ensure reliable 10G performance. Verify device compatibility with copper SFP modules and update firmware if required. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or moisture and handle the module by its body to prevent connector damage.
