Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ transceiver implements 10GBase-TX technology over Category 6A or better twisted pair cabling. The module operates at the full 10 Gigabit Ethernet specification, providing backward compatibility with lower-speed Ethernet standards while maximizing throughput for modern applications.
The compact form factor measures just 0.33" × 0.53" × 1.65", allowing dense deployment in switch and server ports. The single RJ-45 port supports standard Ethernet cabling up to 100 meters, eliminating the need for fiber optic infrastructure in many deployment scenarios.
Key Product Advantages
This SFP+ module delivers significant advantages for network administrators seeking to upgrade to 10GbE without replacing existing copper cabling infrastructure.
Cost-Effective 10GbE Migration
Utilize existing Category 6A twisted pair cabling instead of investing in fiber optic infrastructure, reducing upgrade costs while achieving 10 Gigabit performance.
- Leverages existing copper cabling
- Eliminates fiber transceiver costs
- Reduces overall deployment expense
Simplified Network Management
Standard RJ-45 connectors and familiar twisted pair media simplify installation and maintenance compared to fiber optic alternatives.
- RJ-45 connector familiarity
- Standard Ethernet cabling
- Easy troubleshooting and testing
Deployment / Use Cases
The Ortronics 7G17A03130-A SFP+ module is ideal for environments requiring high-bandwidth connectivity over copper infrastructure. Its 10GBase-TX implementation makes it particularly valuable for specific networking scenarios.
