Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ module implements the 10GBase-T Ethernet standard, delivering data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over copper twisted pair media. The transceiver operates at standard Ethernet voltages and temperatures for reliable performance in enterprise networking environments. The single RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX functionality for simplified deployment.
The module's electrical interface complies with SFP+ MSA specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with a wide range of networking switches and routers. Internal signal processing handles the complex encoding required for 10GbE over copper, including 10GBASE-T's sophisticated error correction and signal conditioning algorithms.
Key Product Advantages
This 10GBase-T SFP+ module delivers significant advantages for network administrators seeking to upgrade to 10GbE without overhauling their cabling infrastructure. By leveraging existing twisted pair cabling, organizations can achieve 10Gbps speeds while minimizing deployment costs and complexity.
Cost-Effective 10GbE Migration
Utilize existing Category 6A or better copper cabling instead of investing in new fiber infrastructure, reducing both material and labor costs for network upgrades.
- Eliminates fiber optic cable costs
- Uses standard RJ-45 connectors
- No special termination tools required
Simplified Network Management
Hot-pluggable design allows for installation and replacement without powering down networking equipment, minimizing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
- Live insertion and removal
- Standard SFP+ management interfaces
- Compatible with existing management systems
Deployment / Use Cases
This 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver is ideally suited for connecting servers, storage arrays, and network switches in data center and enterprise environments where 10GbE performance is required but fiber optic cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The module enables high-speed connections between equipment within server racks or across adjacent racks using standard copper cabling.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers in hyper-converged infrastructure, linking aggregation switches in medium-sized networks, and providing 10GbE uplinks for high-performance workstations. The 100-meter reach supports flexible equipment placement within data centers and office environments while maintaining full 10Gbps throughput.

FAQ
What type of cabling does this SFP+ module require?
This 10GBase-T SFP+ module requires Category 6A or better twisted pair copper cabling with standard RJ-45 connectors. It supports transmission distances up to 100 meters when using properly installed and certified Category 6A cabling. The module is designed specifically for copper media and cannot be used with fiber optic cables.
Is this transceiver compatible with my existing networking equipment?
The ECI Networks 10G-SFPP-T-ECI is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ slots in switches, routers, and network interface cards. It's specifically designed for Brocade networking platforms but should work with any MSA-compliant SFP+ port supporting 10GBase-T technology. Always verify compatibility with your specific equipment manufacturer before deployment.
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported?
This SFP+ module supports full 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) data transfer rates using the 10GBase-T standard. It delivers up to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) of throughput over twisted pair copper cabling. The module auto-negotiates with connected equipment to establish the optimal speed, typically operating at 10Gbps when both ends support this rate, with fallback to lower speeds if necessary.
Does this module support hot-plugging?
Yes, this SFP+ transceiver supports hot-plugging, allowing you to install or remove the module without powering down your networking equipment. This feature minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or replacement operations. The module is designed to be inserted and removed while the host device remains powered on and operational.
