SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M 10 Gbps RJ45 80 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M is a copper SFP+ module that delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 interfaces for distances up to 80 metres. Intended for installation in SFP+ ports of switches, routers and servers, the module provides a compact plug-and-play form factor compatible with 10 Gigabit uplinks, short-range server interconnects and data centre patching. Its RJ45 interface allows use with existing copper cabling while maintaining full 10G performance within the specified reach.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbps throughput with low-latency transmission over copper, enabling cost-effective use of existing Cat6A/Cat7 cabling for short runs. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The module is designed to meet common electrical and thermal characteristics of SFP+ ports, ensuring stable links and interoperability with a range of network devices that support standard SFP+ copper modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches in wiring closets and rack environments
• Short-range server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Patch and cross-connect applications where RJ45 copper cabling is preferred
• Network equipment lacking fibre infrastructure but requiring 10G speeds

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 80 metres over appropriate copper cabling
• Cabling: compatible with shielded Category 6A or better for full 10G performance
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45)
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Power consumption: typical for copper SFP+ modules (refer to device datasheet for exact values)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ Transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server until it latches. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between the module and the remote device or patch panel, ensuring the cable and terminations meet the required category (Cat6A or better) for 10 Gbps over the target distance. After insertion, confirm link status via device LEDs or management interface and verify negotiated speed and duplex. To remove, disconnect the cable and release the module latch before pulling the transceiver from the port.

Recommendations

Use shielded, high-quality Category 6A or Category 7 copper cabling and proper grounding when deploying this 10G RJ45 SFP+ module to achieve reliable 10 Gbps links up to the specified 80 m. Check device compatibility lists and firmware requirements of your network equipment to ensure full interoperability.
