SFP-transceivermodule koper BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZY 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZY is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s (10000 Mbit/s) Ethernet over standard copper cabling. With an SFP+ form factor, the module fits into SFP+ ports on switches, routers or network interface cards to provide a 10GBASE-T style connection through an RJ45 copper port. The module supports high-speed data transfer and is intended for short- to medium-reach copper links where 10 Gbit/s connectivity is required and fiber cabling is not used.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZY combines compact SFP+ compatibility with a copper RJ45 interface, enabling 10 Gbit/s connectivity without replacing existing copper infrastructure. Its small form factor allows flexible deployment in systems with limited module bays, while the straightforward RJ45 connection simplifies integration into typical Ethernet environments. The module is designed for easy hot-swap installation and is suitable for mixed environments where both fiber and copper transceivers are deployed.

Suitable for

• Upgrading server or switch ports to 10 Gbit/s over existing copper cabling
• Short- to medium-distance connections in data centers and wiring closets
• Interconnecting network devices that require an RJ45 interface at 10G speeds
• Environments where fiber is not available or where copper termination is preferred

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: RJ45 (copper)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Media: Twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat6a/Cat7 recommended for full 10G reach)
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-RJ45-ZY into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router or network card until it clicks into place. Connect a suitable RJ45 copper cable to the module and to the remote device. Ensure both ends are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation in device firmware or software if manual configuration is required. The module supports hot-swapping; power down is not necessary for insertion or removal unless specified by the host device documentation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Category 6a or Category 7 copper cabling to achieve reliable 10 Gbit/s performance and to maximize reach. Check host device compatibility with third-party SFP+ copper modules and update device firmware if needed. For optimal thermal performance, allow adequate airflow around populated SFP+ slots.
