HPE JL563C network transceiver module Fiber optic 10000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The HPE JL563C network transceiver module is a compact SFP fiber optic device designed for high-speed connectivity in enterprise networks. With a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and an RJ-45 interface, this module integrates into compatible switches and routers to provide reliable 10 Gbit/s links in data center and campus environments. Its small form factor (approximately 13 mm width, 13 mm depth, 71 mm height) and light weight make it easy to install in dense port configurations where space efficiency is important.

Advantages

The module offers a standardized SFP form factor with an RJ-45 interface suitable for copper-to-fiber transition scenarios or connecting to RJ-45 compatible equipment. Its support for up to 10000 Mbit/s ensures it can handle demanding bandwidth requirements for server uplinks, aggregation, and high-throughput applications. The compact dimensions and low weight reduce port congestion and allow for flexible deployment in rack-mounted networking hardware.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and routers
• High-throughput server connections in data centers
• Aggregating traffic in campus network cores
• Environments requiring compact SFP modules with RJ-45 connectivity

How to use

Insert the HPE JL563C transceiver module into a compatible SFP port on your switch or router until it seats securely. Connect the appropriate RJ-45 cable to the module’s interface, ensuring the cable meets the category and shielding requirements for 10 Gbit/s operation. Verify link and speed status through the network device’s management interface and perform any required configuration for link aggregation or VLANs as needed. Follow the host device manufacturer’s guidelines for hot-plugging and ESD protection.

Recommendations

For stable 10 Gbit/s performance, use high-quality RJ-45 cables rated for 10 Gbit/s (such as Cat6a or higher) and ensure the host device firmware supports the HPE JL563C transceiver. Keep the module’s contacts clean and store unused modules in protective caps to prevent contamination.
