Description

The FN-TRAN-SFP+GC-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP+GC. This transceiver provides plug-and-play 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling for Fortinet platforms equipped with SFP+ slots. - Compliant with IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard, ensuring compatibility with equipment supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper - SFP+ form factor with RJ45 connector, supporting 10 Gbps data rate over CAT6A or CAT7 cable up to 30 meters - Backward compatible with multi-rate operation: 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, and 1000BASE-T - Hot-swappable operation with standard temperature range (0 to 70 degrees C) suitable for enterprise networking environments - Fully compliant with SFP+ MSA and SFF-8431 specifications for guaranteed mechanical and electrical interoperability

Features

• IEEE 802.3an compliance guarantees full-rate 10GBASE-T operation with auto-negotiation, enabling seamless integration with existing copper infrastructure and endpoints with embedded 10GBASE-T ports
• Multi-rate PHY supports backward compatibility to 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, and 5GBASE-T, allowing a single transceiver to adapt to mixed-speed environments without hardware changes
• RJ45 copper interface provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack connections, eliminating the need for fibre cabling in dense installations
• Hot-swappable design permits installation and removal without powering down the host device, supporting live maintenance and rapid deployment in production environments
• Higher power consumption (approximately 2.5W) and heat generation relative to optical transceivers are inherent characteristics of 10GBASE-T PHY technology due to signal processing complexity
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support reduces power consumption during low-traffic periods by transitioning to low-power idle states
• SFF-8431 and SFP+ MSA compliance ensures mechanical fit and electrical compatibility with Fortinet platforms using standard SFP+ cages and host circuitry

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC?
A: Yes. The FN-TRAN-SFP+GC-BCC is designed for drop-in compatibility with the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP+GC. It conforms to the same IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard, operates at the same 10 Gbps data rate over CAT6A/CAT7 copper, and uses the same SFP+ form factor. Plug-and-play operation is supported on Fortinet equipment with SFP+ slots.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Fortinet platforms equipped with SFP+ ports that support 10GBASE-T operation. The module requires a host port that can supply adequate power and supports the IEEE 802.3an standard. Specific platform models should be verified through Fortinet compatibility documentation, as transceiver support depends on port type and software version.

Q: What cable category is required to achieve the full 30-meter reach at 10 Gbps?
A: CAT6A or CAT7 cable is required to achieve 10 Gbps operation at the full 30-meter distance. CAT6 cable may support shorter distances depending on link quality, but it is not guaranteed for 10GBASE-T at 30 meters. The IEEE 802.3an standard defines the 30-meter reach specifically for CAT6A and CAT7 cabling with reduced power consumption compared to 100-meter operation.

Q: Why does this transceiver generate more heat than optical SFP+ modules?
A: 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers embed a full PHY (physical layer) chipset that performs complex digital signal processing to transmit 10 Gbps over copper, including equalization, echo cancellation, and crosstalk mitigation. This processing requires approximately 2.5W of power, compared to under 1W for optical modules. Heat generation is a fundamental characteristic of the 10GBASE-T architecture, not a defect. Adequate airflow around the module is recommended for reliable operation.

Q: Does this transceiver support link distances beyond 30 meters?
A: No. The 30-meter reach is defined by the module design and power budget optimisation. While the IEEE 802.3an standard permits 10GBASE-T operation up to 100 meters over CAT6A cable, modules designed for 30-meter reach consume lower power and generate less heat, making them better suited for high-density rack installations. For distances beyond 30 meters, either a 100-meter rated 10GBASE-T transceiver or a fibre-based solution should be used.
