Understanding of 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver Modules

  • May 15. 2018

The new 10G SFP+ copper transceiver is very popular now, today we will deeply introduce it to you, hope it will help your work.

1.10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver Specification

It is specifically designed for high speed communication links that require 10

Gigabit Ethernet over Cat 6a/7 cable with a link limit of 30 m.

In addition, this 10Gbase-T RJ45 SFP transceiver is compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 MSA.

2.10GBASE-T SFP+ Modules Vs. SFP+ DAC Cables

The maximum linking distance of 10GBASE-T SFP+ module is 30m, while the SFP+ 10G copper cable is up to 15m.

Furthermore, SFP+ 10GBASE-T module has reduced the power consumption of 10G copper modules, which is a great news for the heavy-loaded 10G data center networks.

3.10GBASE-T SFP+ Modules Vs. SFP+ Optical Modules

In comparison, fiber cabling is considerably more expensive than Cat6a UTP

and the solution overall is not well suited for cost sensitive network edge applications.

Field termination of fiber requires special skill sets and tools which significantly increase the complexity and cost of installation.

4.Why is a 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver Module Needed?

Firstly, in data centers like the enterprise system, the length of the vast majority of links lies between 10 meters and 100 meters.

The 10GBASE-T transceiver which provides 10Gb/s of data transmission over distance of 30 meters implements the limitation of SFP+ DAC.

Secondly, with the common RJ-45 connector, 10G copper SFP+ module has the benefits over SFP+ solutions.

Because copper-based infrastructure is far less expensive than fiber optics.

Thirdly, RJ45 10GBASE-T SFP+ copper transceiver can be directly added into the copper networks, while the 10G SFP+ optical fiber transceiver needs to connect with Ethernet switch or media converter to realize this connection.

5.10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver Application Scenario

The following pictures present the two application cases for 10G RJ45 transceiver .
Scenario one: Connecting server and/or storage appliances with 10GBASE-T RJ-45 to a SFP+ network switch

Scenario two: Network upgrade to 10G at edge switches

 

The new 10GBASE T SFP+ copper transceiver module meet future demand, optimizing initial capital expenditures and ongoing operating costs.
