SFP+ Copper Network Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-LC-BO, 10 Gbit/s, RJ45, metal housing, 30 m

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-LC-BO is an SFP+ copper network transceiver that provides a 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connection through an RJ45 interface. Housed in metal for mechanical durability and electrical shielding, the module fits standard SFP+ ports to add a 10 Gbit/s copper uplink or connection port to switches, routers and servers. The transceiver supports data transmission over copper cabling for distances up to 30 m and is supplied as a single unit.

Advantages

This SFP+ module delivers a 10 000 Mbit/s data rate in a compact SFP+ form factor, allowing equipment with SFP+ cages to use RJ45 copper cabling without requiring a full-size NIC or external adapter. The metal housing provides robust mechanical protection and improved EMI resistance. Compared with fiber SFP+ modules, the RJ45 variant allows direct connection to existing copper infrastructure and can simplify upgrades in environments where short-range copper links are preferred.

Suitable for

• Adding 10 Gbit/s copper uplinks to switches and routers
• Direct server connections where copper cabling is in place
• Data center top-of-rack links with short copper runs
• Lab and test environments requiring high-speed copper links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Interface: RJ45 (copper)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Housing: metal
• Maximum transmission distance over copper: 30 m
• Supply: single unit

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on the switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then connect a suitable RJ45 copper cable to the module and the remote device. Ensure the host device supports SFP+ copper modules and configure the network port settings (speed, duplex and any required link aggregation or VLAN settings) in the device management interface. Verify link status and monitor for correct operation using standard network management tools.

Recommendations

Use high-quality, shielded twisted-pair cables rated for 10 Gbit/s (e.g., Cat6A or equivalent) for runs approaching the 30 m limit, keep connectors and ports free of dust and debris, and confirm device compatibility with SFP+ copper modules before deployment.
