SFP+ Transceiver for Connecting Copper Cabling to Your Cisco Network Switch or RouterThis SFP+ transceiver allows you to connect a copper Cat6a cable to a 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps fiber network router, server or switch. It transmits data up to 98 feet (30 meters) and supports bi-directional Gigabit Ethernet communication up to 10 Gbps. Functionally Equivalent to Cisco SFP-10G-T-X Transceiver ModuleThe MSA-compliant N286-10G-TC functions just like the equivalent Cisco SFP-10G-T-X transceiver module and is manufactured to meet or exceed Cisco specifications. You can use this transceiver with any compatible Cisco router, server or switch and receive the same performance as the SFP-10G-T-X.Hot-Swappable for Installation Without Network InterruptionThis input/output device is fully hot-swappable, so you can install it without a potentially costly 1G/2.5G/5G/10G network shutdown or device reboot. Just plug the SFP end of the transceiver into your Cisco network device. The other end has an RJ45 connector to link with high-speed Cat6a patch cable (sold separately). A convenient bail clasp latch helps you carefully remove the module from the device.Premium Features for Superior PerformanceThe auto-sensing RJ45 port supports auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover to match the other end of the connection. The zinc housing protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and excessive power dissipation.
