SM5310-T

10GBASE-T RJ45 SFP+ Module

Overview A high-performance 10Gbps RJ45 copper transceiver designed for seamless integration into SFP+ slots. Provides plug-and-play connectivity over Cat6a (or better) cabling for up to 30 meters, with Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real‑time temperature and voltage awareness. Ideal for data center uplinks, server connections, top-of-rack switching, and enterprise network deployments that require the flexibility of copper links with the density of SFP+ ports.

Compatibility and Interoperability Designed to work with a wide range of SFP+-equipped switches, routers, and servers. Compatible with devices that accept standard SFP+ copper transceivers and support 10GBASE-T or 1G fallback where supported. For guaranteed interoperability, verify vendor compatibility lists or request a compatibility check for your specific hardware model.

Installation and Operation

• Hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor for zero-downtime insertion/removal.

• Plug module into SFP+ cage on the host device; connect Cat6a (or better) cable to RJ45 port.

• DDM information accessible through host management interface for temperature and voltage monitoring.

• No external power or configuration needed for standard operation.

Use Cases

• Data center server to switch uplinks using existing copper cabling

• Top-of-rack switch connectivity where fiber is not required or practical

• Lab and testing environments requiring flexible, short-reach 10G links

• Migrating infrastructure to 10G while reusing high-quality copper cabling
