SFP Module Extralink SFP RJ45 10G 1x RJ45 10Gb/s Copper

The Extralink SFP RJ45 10G is a copper SFP transceiver designed for 10 Gb/s Ethernet connections over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. Housed in a durable silver aluminum enclosure, this small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) module provides an RJ-45 interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for integration into switches, routers and other networking equipment with compatible SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This SFP module combines a compact SFP+ form factor with a familiar RJ-45 copper connection, allowing easy migration from fiber to copper links where short-distance 10G connectivity is required. The aluminum housing offers mechanical protection and improved heat dissipation. The module’s support for up to 10 Gb/s ensures compatibility with high-throughput applications and modern network architectures that rely on SFP+ ports.

How to use

Insert the Extralink SFP RJ45 10G into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or network interface module while the host device is powered down or follows hot-plug guidelines from the equipment manufacturer. Connect an appropriate Category-rated copper cable (for example Cat6 or Cat6a) to the RJ-45 port on the module and to the corresponding port on the remote device. Configure link speed and duplex settings on the host device if necessary; most modern equipment will auto-negotiate 10 Gb/s when both ends support the speed.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Category-rated cabling and keep copper runs within recommended length limits for 10G over twisted-pair. Verify compatibility with your network equipment vendor and ensure firmware and driver support for SFP+ copper modules to achieve stable 10 Gb/s operation.
