Cisco SFP-10G-T-X Electrical Port Module Sample Report

Time: 2024-01-06
        Cisco offers the SFP-10G-T-X electrical port module, which supports data rates of 100M/1G/10Gbps. Moduletek Laboratory has tested the prototype of this product to help users further understand its actual on-board application effect.
1. Product Overview
        The Cisco SFP-10G-T-X module supports a link length of 30 meters over Cat6A or higher cables at 10Gbps, and 100 meters over Cat5e or higher cables at 100M/1Gbps. The official description and module physical appearance are as follows:

        The Cisco 10GBASE- T module ( Figure 2) offers connectivity options at the following data rates :
        100M/1G/10Gbps. It has the SFP + form factor and an RJ-45 interface so that CAT5e/CAT6A/CAT7 cables can be used to connect to end points with embedded 10GBASE-T ports.
        They are suitable for distances up to 30 meters and offers a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks.

2. On-Board Effect
        Before using the module, it is necessary to configure the module type and auto-negotiation rate in the host interface configuration mode:
        The SFP-10G-T-X module was connected to a Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX switch using a Cat6A cable, with its opposite end connected to the built-in RJ45 port of a Cisco WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S switch. By adjusting the interface rate of the opposite end, the module could achieve normal LINK at 100M/1G/10Gbps and run services smoothly. The switch could correctly identify module information, such as module type, vendor name, model, serial number, rate, and transmission distance, with no alarm phenomena.
