10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper 30m RJ-45 Transceiver Module 

10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper 30m RJ-45 Transceiver Module 

The 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver Module is designed for 10Gbps Ethernet data transmission over copper cabling using RJ-45 connectors. It supports a maximum reach of 30 meters over Cat6a or higher cables. This transceiver is hot-swappable and compatible with SFP+ ports, offering easy installation and flexibility in network setups. It provides high-speed, reliable performance with low power consumption, making it an ideal solution for short-range, high-bandwidth Ethernet connections. The module is built to deliver efficient and stable connectivity in environments where copper cabling is preferred.

What is a Copper Module Transceiver?

A copper module transceiver is a network module used for transmitting and receiving data over copper cables, typically in Ethernet networks. These transceivers are commonly used in applications such as data centers, enterprise networks, and local area networks (LANs). Copper transceivers come in various standards, including 10/100/1000Base-T, 10GBase-T, and more, depending on the speed and distance requirements.

Features and Advantages of Copper Transceivers

Cost-Effective: Copper transceivers are generally less expensive compared to optical transceivers, primarily because copper cabling is cheaper and widely available.

Ease of Installation: These modules use standard twisted-pair copper cables (Cat5e, Cat6, etc.), which are simple to install and do not require specialized knowledge or tools for deployment.

Low Power Consumption: Copper transceivers tend to consume less power compared to optical transceivers, making them more energy-efficient, especially in large-scale deployments.

Short to Medium Range: Copper transceivers are suitable for short to medium-distance communication, typically up to 100 meters, which works well in office networks or within data centers.

Compatibility: Copper transceivers are highly compatible with a broad range of devices, including switches, routers, and network cards, making them versatile for various networking needs.

Differences Between Copper Transceivers and Optical Transceivers

Transmission Medium: Copper transceivers use copper cables (such as Cat5e, Cat6), while optical transceivers use fiber optic cables to transmit light signals.

Distance and Speed: Optical transceivers are designed for longer-distance communication and higher speeds. Copper transceivers typically support distances up to 100 meters, while optical transceivers can transmit data over kilometers.

Cost: Copper transceivers are generally more affordable due to the lower cost of copper cabling, while optical transceivers tend to be more expensive, especially for long-distance applications.

Signal Integrity: Optical transceivers are less prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintain better signal integrity over longer distances, while copper transceivers can suffer from interference, especially over longer ranges.

Copper transceivers are ideal for short-range, cost-effective networking where copper cabling is already in place. They provide a practical solution for many applications, though optical transceivers are preferred for high-speed, long-distance communication.
