SFP+ Transceiver BlueOptics PAN-L-SFP-PLUS-10GBASE-T, Copper RJ45 10GBASE-T, 30m, 0–70°C

BlueOptics PAN-L-SFP-PLUS-10GBASE-T is a copper SFP+ transceiver that delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard RJ45 cabling. Engineered for use in compatible SFP+ ports, including many Palo Alto Networks devices and other network equipment, this module enables short-range 10GBASE-T links up to 30 meters. The transceiver supports operation across a 0–70°C temperature range and is intended for high-density network environments where 10G copper connectivity is required without fiber optics.

Advantages

This SFP+ module provides plug-and-play 10G copper connectivity using familiar RJ45 cabling, reducing the need to replace existing copper infrastructure. It supports full 10 Gbps bandwidth for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links at short distances, and its compact SFP+ form factor saves port space in network devices. The specified temperature range allows reliable operation in standard data centre and telecom equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Server to Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch connections over copper
• Short-distance uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Network equipment that requires 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules
• Environments where existing Cat6/Cat6a cabling is used

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-in module with RJ45 copper port
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T)
• Maximum reach: up to 30 meters over approved copper cabling
• Operating temperature: 0 to 70 °C
• Power and protocol: compatible with standard SFP+ electrical and management interfaces for 10GBASE-T

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router, or firewall, ensuring the module latches securely. Connect an RJ45 copper cable of appropriate category and length to the module and the remote device. Verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators; the port should negotiate 10 Gbps operation if both ends support 10GBASE-T. If necessary, consult the host device documentation for any vendor compatibility settings or firmware requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use quality Category 6A (Cat6A) or high-quality Cat6 cabling for reliable 10 Gbps performance up to the specified distance, and avoid running cables near large electrical noise sources. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment vendor and keep device firmware up to date to ensure stable 10GBASE-T operation.
