SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-QN Copper 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-QN is a copper SFP transceiver module engineered for high-speed 10 Gbps Ethernet links. It uses an SFP+ interface to provide a direct copper connection for network equipment that supports SFP+ ports. The module's compact metal housing and lightweight construction make it simple to install in switches, routers or network interface devices where a short-reach copper link is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is compatible with standard SFP+ cages, offering a reliable electrical connection without the need for fiber cabling. Its small form factor reduces space usage in network chassis while the metal casing provides physical durability and EMI shielding. The module's lightweight design facilitates handling and installation in dense networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over copper
• Upgrading SFP+ ports to support copper RJ45 connectivity
• Network switches, routers and servers with SFP+ slots
• Data center server-to-switch uplinks and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Form factor: SFP+ copper transceiver
• Housing: metal, compact SFP+ module
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Color: silver

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-QN into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible network device until it seats firmly. Connect a suitable copper RJ45 cable to the module's RJ45 port and to the remote device. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbps operation if necessary. Verify link and speed indicators on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and connectivity.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling for short-reach 10 Gbps links and verify that the host hardware supports SFP+ copper transceivers. Avoid excessive mechanical stress when inserting or removing the module and ensure proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. For optimal performance in rack environments, monitor temperature and airflow around populated SFP+ cages.
