Add-On SFP-10G-MRA-T-AO 10GBASE-T SFP+ Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10G-MRA-T-AO is a 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver module designed for short-reach copper Ethernet connections. It allows you to connect a network switch or other device with an SFP+ port to a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network over standard Cat 6a or Cat 7 cabling, up to 30 meters. This module is critical for providing high-bandwidth uplinks from access layer switches to distribution or core layers in enterprise and data center environments, or for direct server connections where RJ-45 ports are required.

Compatibility

This SFP+ transceiver is engineered to be compatible with network devices supporting the SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) interface and the 10GBASE-T standard. It is designed to work with a wide range of network equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from major manufacturers that adhere to SFP+ MSA standards. Specific compatibility is typically assured with Arista Networks equipment, as indicated by the product naming, but it functions broadly across compliant networking hardware.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP-10G-MRA-T-AO module into an available SFP+ slot on your network device. Ensure the device is powered on. The module is hot-swappable, meaning you can insert or remove it without powering down the equipment. Connect a Cat 6a or Cat 7 Ethernet cable (up to 30 meters) to the RJ-45 port on the transceiver. The module draws minimal power from the host device's SFP+ port.
