Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps SFP+ RJ45 copper 80 m

CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a 10 Gbps SFP+ RJ45 copper transceiver designed for SFP+ compatible switches and servers. It provides 10GBase-T connectivity over standard Cat6a/Cat7 copper cabling for distances up to 80 metres, enabling high-speed uplinks and server links without replacing existing RJ45 infrastructure. The module fits into SFP+ cages and converts an SFP+ port into a 10 Gbps RJ45 copper interface, supporting link negotiation and standard Ethernet operation.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps performance over copper cabling with low latency and broad compatibility with SFP+ host devices. Its RJ45 interface eliminates the need for fiber transceivers or additional media converters when connecting to copper networks. Compact SFP+ form factor preserves port density in switches and servers while enabling higher-speed links over existing structured cabling.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in data centre racks
• Direct server connections to SFP+ ports using copper cabling
• Upgrading gigabit networks to 10 Gbps without fiber rewiring
• Short-distance aggregation links and top-of-rack connections

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBase-T)
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 metres over suitable copper cabling
• Supported cabling: Cat6a/Cat7 recommended for full 10 Gbps at stated distance
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Latency: low, hardware-based forwarding suitable for server and switch links

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an SFP+ slot on a compatible switch or server until it clicks into place, then connect a suitable RJ45 copper cable to the module and the remote device. Ensure both endpoints are configured for 10GBase-T or autonegotiation to establish the link. Verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and replace or reseat the module if a link is not established.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance at the full 80 m range. Check the switch or server compatibility list for SFP+ copper modules and keep host firmware updated to ensure proper interoperability. For distances shorter than 80 m, standard Cat6 may suffice, but performance depends on cable quality and installation.
