FAQ
What type of module is the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X?
The Cisco SFP-10G-T-X is an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) copper transceiver module. It uses the SFP+ form factor but contains electrical components for copper connectivity rather than optical components for fiber. This module is specifically designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling using the 10GBase-T standard.
What cable types does this SFP+ module support?
This module supports Category 5e, Category 6a, and Category 7 twisted-pair copper cables. Category 5e cables typically support 10GBase-T up to 45 meters, while Category 6a and Category 7 cables can achieve the full 100-meter distance specified by the 10GBase-T standard. The module automatically negotiates the optimal performance based on cable quality and length.
What Cisco equipment is compatible with this module?
The SFP-10G-T-X is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switching and routing platforms including Catalyst series switches (2960-X, 3560-X, 3750-X, 3850, 4500, 4500-X), Nexus switches (2000, 3000, 4000, 9000, 9500), ASR routers (901, 903, 1000, 9000 series), UCS switches, MDS 9000 series, and various other Cisco networking devices. Always verify specific platform compatibility before deployment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
This SFP+ module delivers data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) using 10GBase-T technology. It operates at full 10 Gigabit Ethernet speed, providing ten times the throughput of standard 1GbE connections. The module supports auto-negotiation to establish the highest mutually supported speed with connected equipment.
Can this module be used for fiber optic connections?
No, the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X is specifically designed for copper connections only. It uses an RJ-45 connector for twisted-pair copper cabling and implements 10GBase-T electrical signaling. For fiber optic connections, you would need a different SFP+ module with LC, SC, or other fiber connectors appropriate for your fiber type and distance requirements.
What are the physical dimensions of this SFP+ module?
The module measures 0.33 inches (8.50 mm) in height, 0.53 inches (13.40 mm) in width, and 2.22 inches (56.50 mm) in depth.
