Transceptor SFP+ Cobre CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 10 Gbit/s RJ45 30W

The CBO SFP-10G-RJ45 is an SFP+ copper transceiver that delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 copper cabling. It fits SFP+ ports in switches, routers and servers and is intended for short-range copper connections where fibre is not required. The module follows the SFP+ form factor and is designed for straightforward insertion into compatible network equipment to provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet links with low power draw.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper transceiver provides 10 Gbps performance over familiar RJ45 infrastructure without the need for fibre optics, reducing the complexity of cabling for short links. Its SFP+ form factor ensures broad compatibility with equipment that accepts hot-pluggable SFP+ modules. The module is engineered for efficient power usage suitable for high-density installations and supports standard Ethernet operation at 10 Gigabit speed.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between servers and switches
• Upgrading existing copper-based networks to 10 Gbps
• Data center top-of-rack or access-layer connections using RJ45 cabling
• Switch or router ports that accept SFP+ copper modules

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connector
• Data rate: 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Cabling: Compatible with standard Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7 copper cabling for short-range links
• Physical layer: 10GBASE-T over twisted-pair copper
• Power class: Low power design indicated at approximately 30 W power class marking

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server or router until it latches. Connect the RJ45 copper cable between the transceiver and the remote device. The host equipment will detect the module and negotiate a 10 Gbps link if both ends and the cabling support 10GBASE-T. Verify link status via the host interface and ensure appropriate driver or firmware support is enabled on the connected devices.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps operation, use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for typical short-range links and adhere to vendor guidelines for maximum cable length. Confirm host compatibility with SFP+ copper modules and ensure firmware or driver updates are applied when required. Avoid installing or removing the module while excessive electrical activity is present and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
