Koper-10GBASE-T-SFP+-transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-ZY-BO – 10 Gbps, RJ45, tot 80 m

The BlueOptics Copper 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-RJ45-80M-ZY-BO provides 10 Gbps connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling for short-reach links up to 80 meters. Designed for data center and enterprise environments, this SFP+ copper module fits into SFP+ slots to enable compact, hot-pluggable 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and device interconnects. It supports operation with Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 copper cables and is intended for use where fiber is not available or where copper cabling is preferred for cost or deployment reasons.

Advantages

This transceiver offers 10 Gbps throughput with low latency in a small SFP+ form factor, allowing high-density port deployment. It uses widely available RJ45 copper cabling and supports reach up to 80 meters on appropriate cable types, simplifying upgrades in existing copper-wired installations. The module is hot-pluggable, interoperable with standard SFP+ slots, and provides a cost-effective alternative to fiber optics for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation devices within data centers
• Server-to-switch 10G connections in racks using Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7 cabling
• Enterprise wiring closets and campus backbone links up to 80 m where fiber is impractical
• Replacement or expansion of SFP+ copper ports in network equipment that supports RJ45 SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ module with RJ45 connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over suitable copper cable
• Compatible cabling: Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 (performance depends on installation quality)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Latency: low-latency copper link (typical for 10GBASE-T transceivers)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server NIC until it clicks into place. Connect an RJ45 copper cable of appropriate category (Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7) between the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure both ends negotiate 10 Gbps operation and verify link status via the host equipment management interface. The module is hot-pluggable, so it may be inserted or removed while the host device is powered, following your equipment manufacturer's hot-swap guidelines.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance to the stated 80 m range, use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and follow best practices for cable installation, grounding and electromagnetic interference management. Confirm that the host equipment firmware and SFP+ slot support copper 10GBASE-T modules and verify link speed in the device management console after installation.
