SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-CS-BO Copper 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-CS-BO Copper SFP transceiver module provides 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling using an SFP+ interface. Constructed for compact network equipment, the module supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and weighs approximately 20 g, enabling easy installation in compatible SFP/SFP+ ports. It is intended for environments where short-range copper connections are required between switches, routers or servers.

Advantages

The module offers high-speed 10 Gbit/s transmission over standard copper infrastructure while maintaining a compact SFP+ form factor. Its lightweight construction simplifies hot-plug installation and replacement in network devices. Compatibility with SFP+ cages in switches and routers allows flexible deployment in mixed optical and copper environments. The device reduces the need for fiber in short-reach scenarios and supports established Ethernet cabling practice.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet connections between switches and routers over copper
• Server uplinks and high-performance network interfaces in data centers
• Short-reach connections where fiber is not available or necessary
• Upgrading existing copper-based network segments to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Media: Copper cabling (RJ45-compatible transceiver)
• Form factor: SFP/SFP+ module
• Weight: 0.02 kg (approx. 20 g)

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines, then insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-CS-BO into an available SFP+ slot until it seats securely. Connect the copper Ethernet cable to the transceiver's RJ45 interface and to the corresponding network equipment. Configure the host device network settings to enable the 10 Gbit/s interface and verify link status through the switch or server management interface. Follow vendor-specific procedures for firmware or compatibility settings if required.

Recommendations

Use certified Category 6A or better cabling for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance and keep cable runs within the supported short-reach distance for copper connections. Ensure the host equipment supports copper SFP+ modules and review device compatibility lists before deployment.
