AddOn JL563A-AO 10GBase-T SFP Transceiver Server Accessory

SKU CH-5FEW-YPDV9 MPN JL563A-AO

10GBase-T SFP transceiver delivers up to 10Gbps over twisted pair cable

  • 10 Gbps data transfer over twisted pair cable
  • TAA compliant for government and regulated deployments
  • Durable twisted-pair connectivity for reliable signal transfer
  • Optimised network performance with 10 Gigabit Ethernet
  • 10GBase-T SFP transceiver compatible with HP JL563A

Compatible SFP transceiver for 10GBase-T

The AddOn JL563A-AO is a server accessory designed for network administrators who need 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over twisted pair cabling. It serves as a TAA-compliant replacement module for compatible HP switch and router ports. Buyers who require fibre interfaces or speeds beyond 10Gbps cannot use this transceiver.

Practical limits of 10GBase-T copper links

The 10GBase-T standard operates at up to 10Gbps over twisted pair cable with a maximum reach of 100 metres. Signal quality depends on cable grade, installation practices and electromagnetic environment. Performance will degrade if the cabling plant does not meet the required category specifications or if patch cords are damaged.

Installation notes and common issues

The hot-pluggable SFP form factor allows insertion into a compatible port without powering down the host equipment. Most problems arise from mismatched port configuration, disabled auto-negotiation or using cables that do not meet the necessary category rating. Verify that the switch firmware recognises the module before deploying in production.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the JL563A-AO or another 10GBase-T SFP module for my switch?

The JL563A-AO is built to match the HP JL563A specification and includes TAA compliance, making it the direct choice for environments that require that qualification.

What does the 10Gbps rate mean once the transceiver is installed in a server?

It delivers up to 10Gbps over twisted pair cabling, giving the server a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link without needing fibre infrastructure.

Which interface standard does the SFP use and what distance does it support?

The module uses the 10GBase-T standard and runs over standard twisted pair copper cable for typical rack distances.
