Copper transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-SS 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-SS is a copper SFP+ transceiver module that delivers 10 Gbit/s connectivity over standard Ethernet copper cabling. Engineered for use in switches, routers and servers that accept SFP+ form factor modules, this transceiver provides a straightforward way to add 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports without changing existing copper infrastructure. The module supports a reach of up to 80 meters over Cat6/Cat6a class cabling and uses an RJ45 electrical interface for compatibility with common network cabling.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver offers a compact SFP+ form factor that conserves slot space while enabling 10 Gbit/s links. It supports hot-plug installation for minimal downtime during upgrades and is designed to interoperate with standard Ethernet hardware that accepts SFP+ modules. The RJ45 interface simplifies deployment on copper cabling and avoids the need to convert to fiber for short- to medium-length links.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers within data centers and server rooms
• Upgrading server network interfaces to 10 Gbit/s where copper cabling is already installed
• Short to medium-length aggregation links and access layer connections up to 80 meters
• Environments that require SFP+ form factor modules with RJ45 copper connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Electrical connector: RJ45
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Maximum reach over copper cabling: up to 80 meters (typical with Cat6/Cat6a)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-SS into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or server while the host device is powered on or off according to the device documentation; the module supports hot-plugging in most systems. Connect a suitable RJ45 Ethernet cable between the transceiver and the corresponding network device. Verify link status and speed using the host device management interface and ensure cabling complies with Cat6/Cat6a recommendations for reliable 10 Gbit/s operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality shielded or unshielded Cat6a or certified Cat6 cabling and maintain cable runs within the specified 80 m limit. Confirm that the network equipment firmware supports third-party SFP+ modules and monitor link diagnostics after installation to ensure stable 10 Gbit/s operation.
