DEVICE INTERFACE: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Compliant; Shielded RJ-45 Copper Interface. DATA TRANSFER RATE: The RJ-45 10G SFP+ module supports up to 10Gbps speeds. RJ-45 COPPER SFP+: Take advantage of unused SFP+ slots and repurpose them for RJ-45 copper multi-gigabit connectivity. ETHERNET DISTANCE AND GIGABIT SPEEDS: The SFP module supports distances at 10Gbps up to 30m (98ft.) with Cat. 6a/7; Backwards compatible with IEEE 802.3bz multi-gigabit (2.5G / 5G) speeds. 2.5G/5Gbps up to 50m (164ft.) with Cat. 5E; 1Gbps up to 100m (328ft.) with Cat. 5E. HOT-PLUGGABLE: Hot-pluggable 10G copper SFP+ module compatible with an MSA compliant SFP+ slot. IEEE COMPLIANCE: Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3an 10 Gigabit Ethernet. ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Low Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) design; Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) support; Hot-Pluggable; Low power consumption;. TRENDnet LIFETIME PROTECTION: The TEG-10GBRJ 10G RJ-45 Copper SFP+ Module is backed by TRENDnet's Lifetime Manufacturer Protection. NDAA / TAA compliant (U. S. and Canada only). TRENDnet's 10G RJ-45 Copper SFP+ Module, model TEG-10GBRJ, converts a standard SFP+ slot into an RJ-45 multi-gigabit port for additional high-speed copper connectivity. This 10G copper SFP+ module works with standard SFP+ slots commonly found in network switches and fiber media converters. Save on equipment costs by repurposing a switch's unused SFP+ slots for reliable copper connectivity with TRENDnet's 10G copper SFP+ module.
