10G Copper SFP+ Transceiver

3C-LINK 3C-SFP+-T 10G BASE-T Copper Small Form Pluggable (SFP) modules are based on the SFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA). It is compliant with the 10G BASE-T,5G Base-T, 2.5G Base-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX standards as specified in IEEE STD 802.3an, 802.3ab and 802.3au

10G Copper SFP+ Transceiver

0GBASE-T ports with RJ-45 connectors have been adopted by most server NIC (Network Interface Card) and storage appliance units and on the other side of the link, ToR (top-of-rack) switches have SFP+

3C-SFP+-T  is a 10GBase mult-rate Copper RJ45 SFP+ transceiver, supporting up to 30-meter transmission over CAT.6a or CAT.7. This module is designed with Low Power Consumption (Less than 2.5W power dissipation) and superior heat dissipation function provided by heat-conducting gasket to quickly dissipate heat away from module and increase its service life.

Features:

  • 10GBase-T
  • Data Rate: 1.25G/10G, multi-rate
  • Interface: RJ-45
  • 30 meters transmission over CAT.6a/CAT.7
  • Compliant with 10G Base-T IEEE 802.3an
  • Compliant with 1000Base-T IEEE 802.3ab
  • Compliant with 100Base-TX IEEE 802.3u
  • Temp. Range(℃): 0~60
  • RoHS

10G RJ45 Compatibility with popular brands

 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T

There is a lot of confusion regarding intermediate data rates between 1000BASE-T, also named Gigabit Ethernet, and 10GBASE-T, also named 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Some equipment may use 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T data rates (in most of the cases these data rates are used in WIFI Scenarios). 
Simple answer is that the 10G-SFP-T adapter/transceiver is capable of supporting 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T Ethernet (EDGE Optical Solution engineers can help with adjusting the data rate). Additionally, we have a 2.5G-SFP-T transceiver in our portfolio that is a more cost-efficient alternative than to use 10G-SFP-T for 2.5GBASE-T applications.
On a side note, 2.5 Gigabit and 5 Gigabit Ethernet is defined under IEEE 802.3bz  communication standard. It defines 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T use over Cat6 infrastructure with added support to legacy Cat5e infrastructure – this in fact led to 2.5Gbps standard introduction in the first place.

 CAT5e ,CAT6a, CAT7

Twisted pair cables consist of two conductors of a single circuit twisted together for the purpose of improving electromagnetic compatibility. Nowadays cables include aluminum foil shielding for increased protections from neighboring pair crosstalk. Twisted pair cable naming is in the form of Categories. For example, Category 5e cable (Cat 5e for short). Cat 5e nowadays is the most commonly deployed and used day to day cable. Newer projects which require more than 5GBASE-T Ethernet use newer generation twisted pair cables, like Cat 6a and Cat 7.

More detailed: 

  • Cat 5e cable is designed for 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps systems;
  • Cat 6a cable is designed for 10 Gbps systems, but is as well backward compatible with Cat 5e and support 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps speeds;
  • Cat 7 cable is designed for 10 Gbps systems with improved crosstalk and at the same time is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6a and supports 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps speeds.
