SFP-10G-COPPER network transceiver module Cambium 10 Gbps Copper SFP RJ-45 3.3V

This Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) module, Cambium SFP-10G-COPPER, provides 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over an RJ-45 copper interface. Compliant with IEEE 802.3-2015 and IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standards, it supports full-duplex 10 Gbps data links using 16-level PAM signaling and operates from a 3.3 V SFP slot. The transceiver supports up to 30 meters reach over shielded twisted-pair Category 6A cable and exposes standard SFP+ serial ID information accessible at I2C address A0h, with the physical IC available at address ACh.

Advantages

The SFP-10G-COPPER module combines high performance and cost-effectiveness for short-distance 10 Gigabit links, using widely available RJ-45 copper cabling. Its SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a broad range of switches, routers and network devices that accept 3.3 V SFP modules. Onboard serial ID via the 2-wire interface enables straightforward inventory and monitoring in managed equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbps connections between switches in server rooms or data centers
• Upgrading access or aggregation ports on routers and switches with SFP+ slots
• Cost-sensitive deployments requiring copper connectivity up to 30 m over Cat6A

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-COPPER transceiver into a compatible 3.3 V SFP+ port on your switch, router or network device until it seats securely. Connect an RJ-45 terminated Cat6A shielded twisted-pair cable to the module and to the remote device. Ensure both ends are configured for 10 Gbps full-duplex operation; managed devices will detect the module and its serial ID via the 2-wire interface for inventory and diagnostics. Do not force the module; follow your host device’s instructions for hot-plug insertion and removal.

Recommendations

Use shielded Category 6A cabling and proper grounding for reliable 10 Gbps links up to 30 m. Verify host compatibility with copper SFP+ modules and ensure firmware or configuration permits 10GBASE-T operation. For distances shorter than 30 m, test link stability after installation and monitor the device through the host system’s management tools.
