Deployment / Use Cases
The Ortronics AA1403043-E6-A SFP+ module is ideally suited for network edge deployments where 10GbE connectivity is required but fiber optic cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Common applications include connecting servers to top-of-rack switches in data centers, linking network aggregation points in enterprise environments, and providing high-speed uplinks between networking equipment in server rooms.
This transceiver excels in scenarios requiring short-reach 10GbE connections, such as within a single rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments. The 30-meter reach supports typical intra-room and intra-floor networking needs while maintaining the simplicity and familiarity of RJ-45 copper connectivity. Network administrators can deploy these modules to upgrade specific links to 10GbE without modifying the entire network infrastructure.
Data Center Server Connections
Connect servers to top-of-rack switches with 10GbE performance using existing copper cabling infrastructure, maximizing server-to-network throughput without fiber complexity.
Network Aggregation Links
Establish high-speed uplinks between switches and routers in enterprise environments, providing sufficient bandwidth for aggregated traffic from multiple network segments.
Physical Profile
The compact SFP+ form factor measures 0.55 inches in height, 0.54 inches in width, and 2.80 inches in depth, conforming to industry-standard SFP+ dimensions for universal compatibility with SFP+ slots. The small footprint allows high-density deployment in switch chassis, maximizing port utilization while maintaining adequate airflow for thermal management.
Constructed with durable materials and RoHS-compliant components, the module withstands continuous operation in typical data center and networking environments. The standard SFP+ latch mechanism ensures secure connection while maintaining hot-pluggable functionality for easy installation and replacement without network downtime.
