SFP Transceiver CBO AT10037-R Copper Wire — CBO SFP Copper Module

SFP transceiver CBO AT10037-R Copper Wire — CBO SFP Copper Module is a compact, hot-pluggable SFP module that provides a copper RJ-45 interface for short-range Ethernet links. Designed for installation in compatible SFP ports, this module enables copper network connectivity for switches, routers and other networking hardware that accept SFP-form factor modules. The module supports straightforward physical integration into existing LAN infrastructure and offers a reliable alternative when fiber connectivity is not required or available.

Advantages

The SFP copper module delivers easy hot-swap installation and a standard RJ-45 copper interface, allowing use of existing Ethernet cables without additional media conversion. Its small SFP form factor conserves port space on networking equipment and simplifies inventory by enabling copper connectivity where SFP slots are available. The module supports stable short-distance links and reduces the need for separate copper-only ports on switches, providing flexibility in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over short Ethernet distances using CAT5/6/7 copper cabling
• Adding copper ports to devices that only expose SFP slots
• Temporary links, lab equipment, and maintenance where quick hot-plug replacement is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Interface: RJ-45 copper Ethernet connector
• Link range: Short-range copper links (typical LAN distances)
• Compatibility: Designed for devices with SFP ports that support copper SFP modules
• Installation: Hot-pluggable, no device reboot required for insertion or removal

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP port on a compatible switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the module’s copper port and route the cable to the corresponding network device or patch panel. The module typically negotiates link speed and duplex with the connected device automatically; verify link indicators on both devices to confirm connectivity. To remove the module, disconnect the Ethernet cable and press the module’s release mechanism (if present) before sliding it out.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables appropriate to the required link speed and environment, and avoid exceeding recommended copper distances for reliable operation. Confirm device compatibility with copper SFP modules and verify supported link speeds in the equipment documentation before deployment.
