SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-T-SP-BO Copper 10000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-T-SP-BO Copper 10000 Mbit/s RJ-45 is a compact SFP transceiver module designed to provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper cabling. The module uses an RJ-45 interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s. It is RoHS compliant and carries CE, FCC and ISO9001 certifications. With a nickel-coloured housing and a lightweight design (approximately 20 g), the transceiver is intended for use in equipment that accepts SFP form-factor copper modules and is compatible with devices that support the same electrical and mechanical SFP specifications.

Advantages

The module offers a simple, hot-pluggable way to add 10 Gbit/s copper Ethernet ports to switches, routers or firewalls that accept SFP modules. Its RJ-45 interface enables direct connection to Cat6a/Cat7 copper cabling without additional media conversion. Compliance with RoHS and common certifications provides assurance of regulatory and manufacturing standards, while the compact SFP form factor saves space in dense rack-mount installations.

Suitable for

• Expanding 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on switches and routers with SFP slots
• Connecting servers or network appliances to copper-based 10G networks
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP copper interfaces
• Environments where direct RJ-45 connection to Cat6a/Cat7 cabling is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: RJ-45 copper
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Housing colour/finish: nickel-coloured
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Compliance: RoHS; certified CE, FCC, ISO9001

How to use

Power down the host device if recommended by the manufacturer, insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-T-SP-BO into a compatible SFP port until it engages, then connect an appropriate RJ-45 terminated Cat6a or Cat7 cable to establish the 10 Gbit/s link. For many systems the module is hot-pluggable and can be inserted or removed while the host remains powered; verify the host device’s hot-swap support and follow any vendor-specific instructions. After insertion, check link indicators on the host and confirm negotiated speed and link status through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

Use high-quality shielded Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance; verify compatibility with the host device (some vendors require specific transceiver firmware or compatibility settings) and ensure proper grounding and cable routing to minimise electromagnetic interference.
