Axiom SFP-10G-T-AR-AX 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver

Compatible 10GBase-T SFP+ Transceiver

The Axiom SFP-10G-T-AR-AX is a new MSA-compliant transceiver module designed for Arista networking equipment. It provides a single RJ-45 port for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over twisted-pair copper cabling. Weighing 0.8 ounces, it is built to RoHS environmental standards and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Suited for copper uplinks, not fibre links

This module suits administrators adding 10GBase-T links to compatible Arista switches using existing Cat6a or better infrastructure. It does not support fibre connections, so teams requiring SFP+ SR, LR or direct-attach cables should select a different transceiver type. The RJ-45 interface also means reach is limited to standard copper distances rather than long-haul fibre runs.

RJ-45 10GBase-T interface decides fit

The single RJ-45 port running 10GBase-T is the specification that determines whether this part matches your switch port and cabling plan. Verify that your Arista hardware lists SFP-10G-T-AR-AX as a supported module before purchase, as 10GBase-T transceivers draw more power and generate more heat than optical equivalents.
