Arista SFP-10G-T-RP | 10GBASE-T SFP+ Transceiver, RJ45 Copper, 30m, 1.5W

Q: What is the key difference between the SFP-10G-T-RP and the standard SFP-10G-T?
A: The SFP-10G-T-RP offers identical performance to the standard SFP-10G-T but with significantly reduced power consumption of just 1.5W. This lower power draw makes it compatible with all Arista SFP+ and SFP25 ports and ideal for high-density switch deployments where thermal management and power budgets are critical.

Q: What cable distances are supported by this transceiver?
A: The SFP-10G-T-RP supports up to 30 metres over Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling when operating at 10GBASE-T. This makes it well-suited for top-of-rack and short inter-rack connections in data centre and enterprise environments.

Q: Does the SFP-10G-T-RP support speeds below 10 Gigabit?
A: Yes, this is a multi-rate transceiver that auto-negotiates at 10G, 1G, and 100M BASE-T. This flexibility enables mixed-speed network environments and backward compatibility with legacy infrastructure without requiring separate transceiver modules.

Q: Is the SFP-10G-T-RP compatible with all Arista switches?
A: Yes, the SFP-10G-T-RP is designed for plug-and-play compatibility across all Arista SFP+ and SFP25 ports. It provides seamless interoperability across the Arista switch portfolio for copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments.

Q: What warranty coverage is included with Arista transceivers?
A: Arista optical modules including the SFP-10G-T-RP are covered by a one-year limited hardware warranty, which includes parts, repair, or replacement with a 10 business day turnaround. Optional next business day and 4-hour advance hardware replacement support services are also available for purchase.
