SFP+ Transceiver Module CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-NV-BO 10 Gbit/s Copper RJ45

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-NV-BO is an SFP+ copper transceiver module that provides 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Intended for short-reach links, this module supports distances up to 80 meters depending on cable quality and environment. The compact SFP+ form factor permits hot-pluggable installation into SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network appliances to establish high-speed 10GbE links without requiring fiber optics.

Advantages

The module offers simple deployment in existing copper infrastructure by using familiar RJ45 connectors and category cabling. Its SFP+ form factor enables hot-swap installation and easy replacement or upgrade of ports. Designed for typical data center and aggregation scenarios, the transceiver provides low-latency 10 Gbit/s performance for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links while avoiding the cost and handling of fiber optics for short distances.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10GbE uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• Server connectivity to top-of-rack or leaf switches within the same rack or nearby racks
• Link aggregation and stacking where copper connections are preferred
• Environments where fiber is unnecessary or where existing copper cabling is available

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s full duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over appropriate Cat6/Cat6a cable (depends on cable quality and environment)
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) for standard Ethernet cabling
• Hot-pluggable: supports insertion and removal without powering down the host device
• Application: short-reach copper Ethernet for data center and enterprise networks

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, server NIC, or other network device until it latches. Connect a suitable RJ45 Ethernet cable to the module and to the remote device, ensuring the cable category meets the distance and performance requirements. Configure the network interface and switch port as required (speed, duplex, LACP or VLAN settings) in your device management interface. Monitor link status through your device's management tools to confirm a stable 10GbE connection.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance up to the specified reach, use high-quality category cabling (Cat6a recommended for maximum margin) and keep cable runs free from excessive bends, electromagnetic interference, and poor terminations. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ copper modules and update firmware if needed. When deploying in dense rack environments, ensure adequate ventilation to maintain module and system thermal conditions.
