Transceptor CBO ABCU-5740ARZ cabo de cobre 10 Gbit/s

The Transceiver CBO ABCU-5740ARZ Copper Wire 10Gbps is a compact network module for short-reach Ethernet links over copper cabling. Designed to plug into compatible network equipment, this BlueOptics transceiver enables 10 gigabit per second connections between servers, switches and storage within data centres and enterprise LANs. It supports straightforward upgrades where fibre is not required for short distances, providing a simple copper-based interface for existing cabling infrastructures.

Advantages

This 10Gbps copper transceiver offers a cost-effective solution for short-reach connections by using standard copper cabling rather than fibre optics. The compact form factor reduces space requirements in equipment bays and simplifies installation and maintenance. Compatibility with commonly deployed copper infrastructure allows rapid deployment and lowers upgrade complexity. The module is suited for high-throughput links over short distances while keeping power and thermal impact minimal compared to some alternative optics.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within a rack or row
• Storage area network (SAN) short-reach links
• Enterprise LAN segments where copper cabling is preferred
• Temporary or testbed connections during network upgrades

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Transmission medium: copper cabling (compatible short-reach copper)
• Form factor: compact hot-pluggable transceiver module
• Typical use distance: short-reach links within racks or adjacent racks (dependent on cable type and environment)
• Interface type: electrical copper interface for direct connection to compatible ports

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ or specified copper-capable port on your switch, server or storage device according to the host equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the copper cable to the transceiver’s electrical interface and ensure the link negotiation on both ends is configured for 10Gbps operation. Monitor link status LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a stable connection. For safe handling, avoid touching electrical contacts and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during installation or removal.

Recommendations

Use certified, high-quality copper cables and follow recommended cable length limits for 10Gbps short-reach operation to ensure reliable throughput. Verify compatibility with the host device and firmware, and keep the transceiver firmware and device drivers up to date where applicable. When deploying multiple modules in a dense environment, plan for adequate airflow and heat dissipation around the equipment racks.
