FAQ
What type of cabling does this SFP+ module require?
This module requires Category 6a or better twisted pair copper cabling to achieve 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over distances up to 100 meters. It is designed for use with standard RJ-45 connectors, making it compatible with existing copper network infrastructure without needing fiber optic cables.
Is this module compatible with my existing network switch?
The TN-SFP-10G-T is compatible with networking equipment that features SFP+ slots and supports the 10GBase-T standard. It is built to industry specifications for SFP+ form factors, but it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific switch or router model, as some vendors may require coded or branded modules for full functionality.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This module supports a full duplex data transfer rate of 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) using 10GBase-T technology. It enables high-speed connectivity for applications requiring substantial bandwidth, such as data center server links, network storage, and aggregated uplinks in enterprise environments.
Can I use this module for distances beyond 100 meters?
The module is designed for use with Category 6a cabling up to 100 meters to maintain 10GbE performance. For longer distances, fiber optic SFP+ modules are typically required, as copper-based 10GBase-T has inherent distance limitations due to signal attenuation over twisted pair media.
