Deployment / Use Cases
This 10GBase-TX SFP+ transceiver is particularly valuable in environments where copper cabling is already deployed and upgrading to fiber would be prohibitively expensive or disruptive. It's commonly used to connect servers to top-of-rack switches, link network switches in intermediate distribution frames, or provide high-speed uplinks in enterprise wiring closets.
Typical applications include data center server connectivity, storage area network extensions, high-performance computing clusters, and backbone links in campus networks. The 30-meter reach supports most intra-rack and inter-rack connections within server rooms, while the RJ-45 interface works with standard network equipment and cables.
Data Center Server Connections
Connect servers to switches using existing copper cabling for 10GbE performance without fiber infrastructure investment.
Enterprise Network Upgrades
Upgrade network switches to 10GbE uplinks using current cabling plants, avoiding costly rewiring projects.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of cable does this SFP+ transceiver require?
This transceiver requires Category 6a or better twisted pair copper cable with RJ-45 connectors. It supports standard Ethernet cabling commonly used in network installations, making it compatible with existing copper infrastructure without needing specialized fiber optic cables.
What is the maximum distance supported by this transceiver?
The transceiver supports distances up to 30 meters over appropriate twisted pair cabling. This reach is sufficient for most intra-rack and inter-rack connections within data centers, server rooms, and network closets where copper cabling is already deployed.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP+ transceiver features a hot-swappable design that allows installation and removal without powering down the networking equipment. This enables maintenance, upgrades, and reconfiguration with minimal network downtime, which is essential in production environments.
What does MSA compliance mean for this transceiver?
MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance means this transceiver meets industry-standard electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications established by multiple manufacturers. This ensures interoperability with SFP+ slots from various networking equipment vendors, providing reliable performance across compatible platforms.
What is TAA compliance and why does it matter?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this transceiver meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products sourced from designated countries. This makes it suitable for federal, state, and local government contracts where trusted supply chain sourcing is mandated by regulation.
What networking equipment is this transceiver compatible with?
As an MSA-compliant SFP+ module, this transceiver is designed to work with networking equipment that supports 10GBase-TX technology over copper. While specifically noted as Cisco GLC-T-10G compatible, it should interoperate with any switch, router, or network interface card featuring a compatible SFP+ slot and 10GBase-TX capability.
