SFP+ koper-transceiver CBO GP-10GSFP-T-BO 10GBASE-T, tot 30 m (Cat6/Cat6a)

CBO GP-10GSFP-T-BO is an SFP+ copper transceiver module for 10GBASE-T applications, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over twisted-pair copper cabling. The transceiver fits SFP+ ports on servers, switches and network appliances and supports short-reach copper connections over Cat6/Cat6a cabling up to 30 m. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for integrating copper-based 10GbE links into systems that accept SFP+ form-factor modules.

Advantages

The CBO GP-10GSFP-T-BO delivers 10GBASE-T performance in an SFP+ form factor, allowing migration to 10 Gigabit Ethernet without replacing devices that have SFP+ slots. It supports standard twisted-pair cabling typically used in enterprise and data center environments, reducing the need to install fiber. The module is hot-pluggable and designed for compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ ports, simplifying deployment for uplinks and short-reach connections. Its compact size conserves module slots while supporting familiar RJ45 copper interfaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and servers within racks or adjacent rooms
• Short-reach connections in data centres and server rooms using Cat6/Cat6a cabling
• Scenarios where SFP+ ports are required but copper RJ45 connectivity is preferred
• Network appliance or storage system connections that need 10G copper links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper PHY
• Standard: 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3an compatible)
• Maximum reach: up to 30 m over suitable Cat6/Cat6a cabling
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Connector type: RJ45 (copper twisted-pair)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Install the CBO GP-10GSFP-T-BO into an available SFP+ slot on the network device while the device is powered on or following the device vendor's maintenance procedures. Connect a Cat6 or Cat6a copper cable with RJ45 plugs between the module and the remote device, ensuring the cable length does not exceed the recommended maximum of 30 m for reliable 10G performance. Configure the network interface and link settings on both endpoints according to the switch or server operating instructions. Monitor link status through device management interfaces to verify successful negotiation at 10 Gbps.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal 10GBASE-T performance, use high-quality Cat6a cabling where possible and avoid runs with tight bends or electrical interference. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ copper transceivers in the switch or server vendor documentation and update firmware or drivers if required for proper operation.
