FAQ
What type of cabling does this SFP+ module support?
This module supports twisted pair cabling, specifically Category 6a or better Ethernet cables. It uses standard RJ-45 connectors to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper infrastructure, making it compatible with existing cabling systems in most enterprise environments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
The module delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s using 10GBase-TX technology. This provides full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, server access, and network backbone links.
How far can this module transmit data over copper cabling?
It supports transmission distances up to 0.03 km (approximately 0.02 miles or 30 meters) over twisted pair cabling. This distance is typical for 10GBase-TX copper connections and is sufficient for most rack-to-rack or within-room networking applications in data centers and enterprise environments.
Is this module compatible with non-Ubiquiti switches?
While designed for Ubiquiti equipment, this SFP+ module should work with any switch that supports standard SFP+ copper transceivers and 10GBase-TX technology. However, compatibility should be verified with the specific switch manufacturer's documentation, as some vendors may require coded modules for full functionality.
