Copper SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-EN-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-EN-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. With an SFP+ interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s, this compact module provides a plug-and-play option for upgrading compatible switches, servers, and network appliances to support high-speed copper links. The module's small form factor and 20 g weight make it suitable for dense installations where space and compatibility with SFP+ ports are required.

Advantages

The module supports 10 Gbit/s transmission over copper, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity without the need for fiber optic cabling. Its SFP+ interface ensures compatibility with a broad range of SFP+ ports on networking equipment, and the compact design simplifies installation and replacement. Because it uses copper cabling, it can reduce costs and complexity in environments where fiber is not necessary or available.

Suitable for

• Upgrading SFP+ ports on switches and routers to 10 Gigabit copper links
• Connecting servers and storage systems requiring 10 Gbit/s copper connectivity
• Short-reach backbone links and aggregation within data centers or wiring closets
• Environments where fiber deployment is impractical and copper cabling is already installed

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Media: copper (twisted-pair cabling)
• Form factor: SFP+ transceiver module
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the transceiver module into a compatible SFP+ slot on your network device until it clicks into place. Connect the module to the network using the appropriate RJ45 copper cable rated for 10 Gbit/s operation. Ensure the connected devices are configured for 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation and that device firmware or port settings support copper SFP+ modules. Monitor link status indicators on both ends to verify an active connection.

Recommendations

Use high-quality, certified Category 6A or better twisted-pair cabling for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance and limit cable length according to manufacturer guidelines for short-reach copper transceivers. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor and, where applicable, enable any required port settings or firmware updates before deployment.
