The 10G RJ45 SFP+ Copper Transceiver from FibreSales is engineered for high-speed, short-to-medium range Ethernet links over existing copper cabling. Using the familiar RJ45 interface, this transceiver provides 10-Gigabit connectivity without the need to re-run fibre infrastructure — making it a cost-effective upgrade path for network expansions or switch upgrades.
Built on the SFP+ form factor, this module is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3an / 10GBASE-T standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of network switches, servers, and storage systems. It supports Cat6a and Cat7 twisted-pair cables, enabling flexible deployment in both modern and legacy copper environments.
10Gbps Data Rate – Delivers full-duplex, low-latency connections suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualisation, cloud access, and large data transfers.
RJ45 Copper Interface – No need for fibre patching or SFP+ to RJ45 adapters; simply plug into an SFP+ slot and connect directly to copper cabling.
Hot-Swappable Design – Install, upgrade, or replace modules without shutting down equipment, minimising downtime.
Broad Compatibility – Works with major brands including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, MikroTik, and more (vendor compatibility testing recommended).
Cost-Effective Deployment – Leverage existing copper infrastructure instead of costly fibre runs for short connections.
Quality Assurance – Each unit is tested for performance, reliability, and compliance before shipping.
Warranty & Support – Covered by a 3-year FibreSales warranty with local technical support.
Data Centres: Top-of-rack (ToR) to aggregation switch links, server uplinks, and inter-rack connections.
Enterprise Networks: Office or campus switch interconnects where fibre is unnecessary.
Network Upgrades: Transition from Gigabit to 10-Gigabit speeds without replacing copper cabling.
Lab & Test Environments: Flexible, hot-swappable module for multi-vendor networking setups.

Q1: What is a 10G SFP+ copper transceiver?
A 10G SFP+ copper transceiver (10GBase-T) is a hot-pluggable module that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling. It allows you to use RJ45 ports instead of fibre connections.
Q2: What distance can a 10G SFP+ RJ45 module support?
The 10GBase-T copper SFP+ supports up to 30 metres on Cat6a/Cat7 cable. This makes it ideal for short-reach server connections, ToR (top of rack) cabling, and office environments where fibre isn’t necessary.
Q3: Is a 10G SFP+ copper transceiver compatible with all switches?
Yes, most modern switches and servers with SFP+ slots support copper modules. However, always check your vendor documentation for 10GBase-T support. fibresales can reprogram modules for vendor-specific compatibility if required.
Q4: What cable type is required for a 10G SFP+ RJ45?
To achieve full 10Gbps speed and stability, use Cat6a or Cat7 shielded copper cables. Cat6 can be used for shorter runs, but Cat6a or Cat7 is recommended for optimal performance and compliance.
Q5: What are the advantages of using a copper SFP+ module instead of fibre?
A 10G SFP+ copper module allows reuse of existing copper cabling, saving costs on fibre installations. It also simplifies deployment for short-distance links, avoids the need for fibre patching, and supports the familiar RJ45 connector.
Q6: Does the 10GBase-T copper transceiver consume more power than fibre modules?
Yes. 10G SFP+ copper RJ45 transceivers typically consume more power (around 2.5–3W) compared to fibre modules (~1W). For dense switch deployments, consider thermal design and airflow when using many copper modules.
