Description

The SFP-10G-T-X-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X. This copper transceiver offers plug-and-play compatibility with Cisco switches and routers equipped with SFP+ ports, delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over existing structured cabling. - IEEE 802.3an compliance guarantees interoperability with 10GBASE-T endpoints including switches, routers, servers, and NICs - SFP+ form factor with RJ-45 connector supporting Cat6a and Cat7 copper cable up to 30 metres at 10Gbps - Multi-rate auto-negotiation supports 10G, 5G, 2.5G, and 1G data rates for flexible deployment across mixed-speed infrastructure - Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) enabled for real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, and electrical signal parameters via SFF-8472 interface - Maximum power consumption of 2.5W per port with commercial operating temperature range from -5 to 85 degrees Celsius - Hot-swappable SFP+ MSA compliant module suitable for intra-rack and inter-rack connections where fibre is not required

Features

• IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T compliance ensures standards-based interoperability with any 10GBASE-T endpoint, eliminating proprietary dependencies and guaranteeing link establishment with embedded server NICs, access points, and storage arrays
• Multi-rate auto-negotiation across four speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G) allows gradual network upgrades without forklift replacement, supporting legacy 1G devices and emerging multi-gigabit endpoints on the same infrastructure
• SFF-8472 DDM interface reports module temperature, supply voltage, and electrical signal quality in real-time through standard SNMP or CLI queries, enabling proactive monitoring and fault isolation without physical access
• 2.5W power envelope per port requires careful deployment planning on high-density platforms due to chassis power budget constraints, with some Cisco switches supporting only partial population of SFP-10G-T-X modules as detailed in platform datasheets
• Hot-swap capability with full SFP+ MSA mechanical and electrical compliance permits in-service insertion and removal without switch reboot, minimizing downtime during moves, adds, and changes
• Copper PHY signal processing includes advanced equalisation and echo cancellation across all four twisted pairs, enabling reliable 10Gbps transmission over short-reach structured cabling where fibre installation is cost-prohibitive
• RJ-45 interface leverages installed Cat6a or Cat7 infrastructure for immediate 10G deployment, ideal for top-of-rack to server connections within 30 metres where existing copper runs eliminate the need for fibre conversion

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-T-X-BCC is engineered as a direct replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X and provides identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. It conforms to the same IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard, SFP+ form factor, and 30-metre reach specification on Cat6a or Cat7 cabling. The module is plug-and-play compatible with Cisco platforms and auto-negotiates link speed with any 10GBASE-T endpoint.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this module?
A: This module is compatible with Cisco switches and routers featuring SFP+ ports that meet the 2.5W per-port power budget requirement. Note that the SFP-10G-T-X has higher power consumption than optical SFP+ transceivers, which may limit the number of ports you can populate simultaneously on certain platforms. Consult your specific Cisco platform datasheet for power budget and port density limitations when deploying 10GBASE-T modules.

Q: What cable type is required to achieve 10Gbps at 30 metres?
A: Cat6a or Cat7 cable is required for reliable 10Gbps transmission at 30 metres. While IEEE 802.3an permits 10GBASE-T on Cat6 up to 55 metres under ideal conditions, real-world Cat6 installations often fail to meet the tolerance due to alien crosstalk and termination variability. For guaranteed 10Gbps performance at the module's rated 30-metre reach, specify Cat6a or Cat7 cabling and verify the run with a Cat6a-capable cable tester before commissioning.

Q: Does auto-negotiation support intermediate speeds like 2.5G and 5G?
A: Yes. This module supports IEEE 802.3bz multi-gigabit Ethernet, enabling auto-negotiation at 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps in addition to 1Gbps and 10Gbps. The module will automatically select the highest common speed supported by both link partners. This is useful for connecting to Wi-Fi 6 access points with 2.5G uplinks or NAS devices with 5G interfaces. Some switch platforms may require the SFP+ port speed to be manually configured to match the remote device, so verify behaviour against your switch firmware release notes.

Q: Why does this module run hotter than optical SFP+ transceivers?
A: 10GBASE-T modules consume significantly more power than optical SFP+ transceivers due to active copper PHY signal processing. The module implements advanced equalisation, echo cancellation, and crosstalk mitigation across all four twisted pairs to achieve 10Gbps over copper. This processing requires up to 2.5W per port compared to under 1W for optical SFP+ modules like 10GBASE-SR. The module operates within a -5 to 85 degrees Celsius range and relies on adequate switch chassis airflow to maintain thermal stability. Ensure your deployment environment provides sufficient cooling, particularly when populating multiple ports.
