Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZT 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZT is a copper SFP+ transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over copper. Designed for integration into SFP+ ports, this single-unit module provides a compact solution for high-speed, short-reach connections in switches, routers and servers. The module supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses a standard RJ45 interface on the copper side, enabling compatibility with existing copper cabling and network infrastructures.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers straightforward installation into SFP+ slots and immediate compatibility with devices that accept SFP form-factor modules. By using copper cabling it eliminates the need for optical transceivers and fiber cabling for short-reach links, which can simplify deployment and reduce component variety. The unit is compact, hot-pluggable and suitable for upgrades or replacements in data center and enterprise network equipment that require 10 Gbit/s copper connectivity.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and routers over copper
• Server to switch connections in rack and blade server environments
• Short-reach connections in data centers and wiring closets using Cat6a/Cat7 cabling
• Network equipment upgrades where SFP+ copper modules are supported

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: RJ45 (copper)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Typical applications: short-reach 10G Ethernet over copper

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZT into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router or server while the host device is powered on or during maintenance windows according to your equipment guidelines. Connect a suitable Cat6a or Cat7 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the module and to the corresponding port on the remote device. Verify link speed and status through the host device management interface and configure network settings as required for the link (VLANs, MTU, flow control, etc.).

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance, use certified Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling and keep cable runs within the recommended short-reach distances for copper SFP+ modules. Confirm that the host device firmware supports 10G SFP+ copper transceivers and check compatibility lists if available. Handle the module carefully during insertion and removal, and store unused modules in antistatic packaging.
