Copper transceiver module Lancom Systems SFP-CO10-MG

The Lancom Systems SFP-CO10-MG is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s class network links in compact SFP form factor. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and is intended for short-reach copper connections up to 30 m. Its steel-coloured housing and SFP footprint make it suitable for integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP copper modules.

Advantages

The module delivers a high maximum data rate of 10000 Mbit/s in an industry-standard SFP package, allowing dense port configurations and hot-swap replacement. Its short-reach copper capability up to 30 m provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch cabling within racks or between adjacent racks. The steel-coloured metal housing offers mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding for reliable operation in typical data-centre and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s links within server racks or between adjacent racks
• Upgrading switches or routers to support 10 Gbit/s copper SFP connections
• Media conversion applications where copper SFP modules are required
• High-density port deployments where SFP form factor is preferred

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance over copper: 30 m
• Ethernet interface type: Gigabit Ethernet compatible with 10 Gbit/s SFP copper operation
• Connector type: LC-compatible interface for corresponding cabling systems
• Housing colour and material: steel-coloured metal for shielding and durability

How to use

Install the SFP-CO10-MG into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect the copper cable and verify link status through the host device's port LEDs or management interface. Ensure the host device firmware and port configuration support 10 Gbit/s copper SFP modules and adjust duplex and speed settings if required. For multiple units from the 10-pack, install and validate each port sequentially to confirm proper negotiation and operation.

Recommendations

Use quality copper cabling rated for 10 Gbit/s and keep cable runs within the specified 30 m distance. Check compatibility lists for the host equipment to ensure full support of SFP copper transceivers, and keep firmware up to date to avoid interoperability issues.
