SFP+ Transceiver BlueOptics Dell 407-BCVF Copper 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics Dell 407-BCVF Copper SFP+ transceiver is a compact 10 Gigabit Ethernet module designed for direct-attach copper connectivity. With a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a single RJ-45 Ethernet port, this silver-coloured transceiver provides short-reach links up to 30 m over standard copper cabling. Weighing 20 g, it fits standard SFP+ slots and is compatible with Dell network equipment, offering a space-efficient option for server, switch, and storage interconnects.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds while using familiar copper cabling, enabling cost-effective short-distance connections without fiber. Its compact SFP+ form factor saves slot space in networking hardware and reduces power and cooling requirements compared with larger modules. The single RJ-45 port simplifies installation and maintenance, and the lightweight construction makes handling and deployment easier in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 GbE connections between servers and switches (up to 30 m)
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine switch interconnects where copper runs are available
• Replacement or upgrade of compatible SFP+ copper modules in Dell hardware
• Storage area network links and backup appliance connections within the same rack or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gb/s)
• Physical interface: 1 × RJ-45 Ethernet LAN port
• Maximum transfer distance over copper: 30 m
• Ethernet interface type: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+ form factor)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics Dell 407-BCVF transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on the host device until it latches. Connect a suitable Cat6a/Cat7 copper cable to the RJ-45 port and the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10 GbE operation; the link should negotiate to the appropriate speed and duplex automatically. Verify link status through the host device management interface and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connector.

Recommendations

Use certified high-quality copper cabling (Cat6a or higher) and maintain cable runs within the specified 30 m distance to ensure stable 10 GbE performance. Confirm firmware and compatibility lists on Dell equipment when replacing or upgrading SFP+ modules to avoid link or vendor-lock issues.
