The 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver module delivers the flexibility and port density well known to the SFP+ form-factor, utilising Cat 6a UTP structured cabling for network connectivity. It is a power-optimised solution for lengths up to 30m, engineered to deliver a minimum power saving of at least 0.5W per port compared to an equivalent embedded 10GBASE-T RJ45 for the same length (Cat 6a, up to 30m). These power savings can add-up in ToR, mid-row and end-of-row switch connectivity. It’s the alternative compared with standard SFP+ SR/LR fibre optics, which uses standard-based technology with the familiar RJ45 connector and provides backward compatibility with legacy networks.
