User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum cable distance supported by this SFP+ transceiver?
This transceiver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat6 or Cat5e twisted-pair cabling up to 30 meters. This distance is ideal for typical data center or office deployments where copper infrastructure is already in place, providing a cost-effective upgrade path without requiring fiber optic installations.
Which network switches are compatible with this MSA compliant module?
The module works with MSA compliant switches and routers that accept uncoded SFP+ modules. This includes models from manufacturers like Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, Supermicro, and TP-Link. Its uncoded design ensures broad interoperability across mixed-vendor networks without proprietary lock-in.
Can this transceiver be hot-swapped during operation?
Yes, this SFP+ transceiver is hot-pluggable and hot-swappable, allowing installation or removal without powering down the host switch or router. This feature minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or reconfigurations, making it suitable for high-availability environments.
What type of warranty does StarTech.com provide for this module?
StarTech.com backs this transceiver with a lifetime warranty on the module itself. This warranty covers the life of the product and does not void OEM warranties on your networking equipment. Additionally, technical support is available 24 hours a day, five days a week for assistance with installation or troubleshooting.
Does this module support fiber optic connections or only copper?
This module is designed specifically for copper connections, converting SFP+ ports to RJ-45 interfaces for use with Cat6 or Cat5e twisted-pair cabling. It does not support fiber optic media; for fiber applications, you would need a different transceiver model optimized for fiber connectors like LC or SC.
What environmental certifications does this product meet?
The transceiver complies with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) standards.
