Copper transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-CO-BO 10000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-CO-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over standard copper cabling. Equipped with an RJ-45 interface, this compact module provides a plug-and-play solution for adding 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to compatible switches, routers and servers. With a lightweight design of approximately 20 g, it fits into SFP+ ports and supports short-range copper connectivity where fiber is not required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers high-speed 10,000 Mbit/s data transfer over familiar RJ-45 copper interfaces, enabling straightforward integration into existing copper-based networks. Its small SFP form factor preserves port density on network equipment while simplifying upgrades to 10 Gbit/s without changing cabling standards. The module’s low weight and standardized connector make installation and replacement quick and tool-free when used with compatible hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over copper cabling
• Upgrading switches or servers to 10G ports without fiber optics
• Data center top-of-rack or aggregation connections where RJ-45 is preferred
• Network equipment maintenance and hot-swappable port expansion

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ-45 copper connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP / SFP+ compatible module
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the module by inserting it into a compatible SFP/SFP+ port on your switch, router or server until it clicks into place. Connect a Cat6a or better RJ-45 copper Ethernet cable to the module to establish a 10 Gbit/s link; ensure both ends use appropriate cabling and that the connected devices support 10G over copper. After insertion, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and configure link settings such as duplex and speed if required by your network equipment.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling and keep cable runs within recommended short-range distances for 10G copper connections. Verify compatibility with your network hardware vendor and firmware versions before deployment to ensure stable operation at 10 Gbit/s.
