STARTECH PLUS-T-ST SFP+ Copper Transceiver RJ-45 10 Gbps 30 m

Palo Alto Compatible SFP+ Copper Module

The PLUS-T-ST is a copper transceiver module programmed for Palo Alto Networks switches and routers. It provides a 10 Gbps RJ-45 connection over standard twisted-pair cabling. Network engineers use it to add copper uplinks without changing existing patch panels. The module arrives new and ready for immediate installation.

Hot-Plug RJ-45 Design for Rack Work

A standard SFP+ form factor allows hot insertion into compatible Palo Alto ports without powering down the chassis. The RJ-45 jack accepts familiar Cat6a or Cat7 patch cords up to 30 m. Copper media avoids the cost and fragility of fibre patch leads in dense racks. Link LEDs on the host port show status instantly after seating the module.

Replaces Fibre Uplinks for Short Runs

This transceiver replaces short-range fibre modules when the link stays within 30 m. It upgrades 1 Gbps copper ports to 10 Gbps without re-cabling if the existing plant meets Cat6a specifications. The jump is worth it when latency and throughput matter more than maximum distance. Buyers needing reaches beyond 30 m or fibre isolation should look elsewhere.
