SFP+ lähetin-vastaanotin CBO BlueOptics BO08J78S7 10GBASE-T, 80 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Transceiver BO08J78S7 is a compact, hot-pluggable 10GBASE-T copper module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 80 meters. Designed to fit SFP+ ports, this transceiver enables straightforward connectivity between switches, servers and other network devices using standard RJ45 copper cabling. Its small form factor and compatibility with SFP+ interfaces make it suitable for short-distance links in data centers, server rooms and campus networks.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over existing copper infrastructure, minimizing the need for fiber in short-range applications. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing for on-the-fly installation and replacement without powering down equipment. Its standardized SFP+ form factor ensures wide compatibility with SFP+ ports on many switches and servers, offering a compact alternative to bulkier transceiver solutions.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and server interconnects
• Short-distance campus or building backbone links
• High-speed connections between switches and top-of-rack equipment
• Upgrading copper-based links to 10 Gigabit speeds

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor with RJ45 copper connection
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 meters over Cat6/Cat6a copper cabling (environment and cabling dependent)
• Media: twisted-pair copper
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Typical application: short-range 10 Gbps links in data centers and enterprise networks

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, server or network device until it clicks into place. Connect an appropriate RJ45 copper cable from the transceiver to the corresponding device. Ensure both ends use compatible 10GBASE-T ports and that the cabling (Cat6/Cat6a) and patching support the required link distance. After insertion, verify link status through the device management interface and monitor for proper speed and duplex settings.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat6/Cat6a copper cabling and maintain proper cable routing to reduce electromagnetic interference. Check device compatibility lists or vendor documentation for supported SFP+ modules to ensure firmware or vendor lock-in is not an issue. For distances approaching the 80 m limit, test the link under load to confirm stable 10 Gbps operation.
