Cisco SFP-10G-T-X module

The Cisco 10GBASE-T module (Figure 2) offers connectivity options at the following data rates: 100M/1G/10Gbps. It has the SFP+ form factor and an RJ-45 interface so that CAT5e/CAT6A/CAT7 cables can be used to connect to end points with embedded 10GBASE-T ports. They are suitable for distances up to 30 meters and offers a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks.
