Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 Copper 10G module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

The Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 Copper 10G module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet is a compact, hot-pluggable SFP+ copper transceiver designed to provide 10 Gbps connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Designed for use in switches, routers and server network interfaces, this module enables short-reach copper links where fiber is not required or where existing copper infrastructure is preferred. The module supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet signaling and fits SFP+ ports to deliver cost-effective, high-speed links for data center uplinks, server connections and network aggregation.

Advantages

The module offers a small form-factor, hot-swappable design that simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment. It provides 10 Gbps performance over widely available Cat6a/Cat7 copper cabling, allowing reuse of existing copper infrastructure for high-speed links. The RJ45 interface ensures broad compatibility with standard network cables and patch panels, while the SFP+ form factor gives flexibility to populate ports as needed across switches and servers.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet server-to-switch connections
• Short-reach uplinks in data centers and wiring closets
• Network aggregation and top-of-rack switch links
• Environments where copper cabling is already installed and fiber is not required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Medium: Category-rated copper cabling (Cat6a/Cat7 recommended for full 10G performance)
• Reach: Short-reach copper links (typical up to 30–50 meters depending on cable quality and environment)
• Hot-pluggable: Yes
• Compatibility: Fits standard SFP+ ports on switches and servers supporting copper SFP+ modules

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch or server until it clicks into place. Connect a shielded RJ45 patch cable of appropriate category (Cat6a or Cat7 recommended) between the module and the corresponding network device or patch panel. Ensure the host device recognizes the module and configures the port for 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation; check device documentation for any required firmware settings or compatibility requirements. To remove the module, unlock any retaining latch and pull the transceiver straight out while the system is powered, as it supports hot-swapping.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use high-quality shielded Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and minimize cable bundle congestion and electromagnetic interference. Verify switch or server vendor compatibility lists for copper SFP+ modules and ensure firmware is up to date. In installations where longer distances or optical isolation are required, consider using fiber SFP+ modules instead of copper.
