Cudy SM10GL SFP+ to 10G RJ45 Ethernet Module

The Cudy SM10GL is an SFP+ transceiver module that converts a 10G SFP+ port into a 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper connection, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard Cat6a or Cat7 cables. It delivers full 10G speeds up to 30 meters, making it ideal for high-density data centers and enterprise networks where flexibility and cost-effective copper cabling are required.

Advantages

This module supports multi-rate auto-negotiation (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M), ensuring seamless compatibility with existing network equipment. Its hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation without network downtime. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) provides real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, and optical power, enhancing network reliability. The zinc alloy housing ensures durability and efficient heat dissipation, while low power consumption (<2.5W) reduces energy costs.
