SFP+ Copper Transceiver CBO SFP-XG-T 10 Gbit/s, 30 m

BlueOptics SFP-XG-T is a 10 Gbit/s SFP+ copper transceiver designed for short-reach connections over direct-attach copper or compatible copper cabling. The module fits standard SFP+ ports and offers a compact, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface for switches, servers and other network equipment. Intended for short links up to 30 m, it supports high-throughput uplinks and interconnects in rack and hyperscale environments where a copper connection is preferred.

Advantages

The CBO SFP-XG-T provides 10 Gbit/s full-duplex data transfer with minimal latency and power consumption typical for copper SFP+ modules. Its compact SFP+ form factor allows hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP+ slots without additional transceiver cages. The design is optimized for short-reach links up to 30 m, offering a cost-effective alternative to optical modules when copper cabling is available. Compatibility with common networking hardware ensures straightforward deployment in mixed-port environments.

Suitable for

• Server uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections within 30 m
• Short data center interconnects and patching between racks
• High-performance access ports requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s, full-duplex
• Media: Direct-attach copper and compatible copper cabling
• Maximum reach: up to 30 metres (dependent on cable quality)
• Typical use: short-reach server and switch interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for high-throughput links
• Power profile: low power consumption characteristic of copper SFP+ modules

How to use

Insert the SFP+ copper transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a switch, server NIC or network appliance while the host device is powered on or according to the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect the appropriate direct-attach copper cable to the transceiver’s port and to the corresponding port on the remote device. Configure the host interface for 10 Gbit/s operation if required by the operating system or network equipment. Verify link status and data throughput using standard network management tools.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality, compatible direct-attach copper cables and adhere to the 30 m maximum reach for reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity. Check vendor compatibility lists or firmware requirements for optimal interoperability and follow data center cabling best practices to minimise interference and ensure adequate airflow around SFP+ ports.
