Cisco compatible SFP-10G-T Description
EdgeOptic's Cisco SFP-10G-T compatible is a Cisco-coded 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver built for the original SFP-10G-T ordering code. Cisco currently ships the SFP-10G-T-X revision of this copper SFP+; SFP-10G-T is the earlier ordering code that many deployed Catalyst and Nexus platforms still expect on their 10GBASE-T SFP+ cages. EdgeOptic's EEPROM on this module is programmed to the SFP-10G-T identity, making it a drop-in replacement on Cisco platforms that qualified the original part.
The module operates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T and IEEE 802.3bz for multi-rate auto-negotiation across 1/2.5/5/10G on the RJ45 interface. Reach is up to 30 m on Cat6a or Cat7, with the electrical interface following the SFF-8431 SFP+ MSA. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C commercial grade, with CE and RoHS certification. DOM/DDM telemetry is reported through the standard MSA registers for case temperature, supply voltage, and link status.
Cisco-coded EEPROM means the module identifies as a native Cisco optic to IOS, IOS XE, and NX-OS. The service unsupported-transceiver workaround is not required on Cisco platforms that recognise the SFP-10G-T ordering code. On supported hosts, standard inventory and transceiver commands such as show interfaces transceiver detail will return the module without policy flags. Target platforms are Cisco switches that originally shipped with SFP-10G-T support on their 10G SFP+ cages, including earlier Catalyst and Nexus line cards that predate the SFP-10G-T-X refresh.
Per-port power draw for 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ is higher than optical SFP+; verify the host switch's per-port power budget and any high-density line-card restrictions before populating adjacent cages. This module is intended as a like-for-like replacement on systems specified for the original SFP-10G-T. Deployments standardising on the current Cisco ordering code should procure the SFP-10G-T-X compatible instead, as the two Cisco parts have different EEPROM identities and platform qualification matrices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cisco SFP-10G-T and SFP-10G-T-X?
SFP-10G-T is the earlier Cisco 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ ordering code; SFP-10G-T-X is the revision Cisco currently ships, with a refreshed EEPROM identity and an updated platform qualification list. The two parts are not interchangeable at the EEPROM level: a platform that expects SFP-10G-T-X will not automatically accept a module coded as SFP-10G-T, and vice versa. EdgeOptic ships a separate compatible for each Cisco ordering code. This module targets SFP-10G-T. For switches specified against SFP-10G-T-X, select the SFP-10G-T-X compatible on its own product page.
Which Cisco Catalyst and Nexus platforms originally qualified the SFP-10G-T?
The SFP-10G-T ordering code predates the SFP-10G-T-X refresh, so the original part was qualified on earlier Catalyst and Nexus SFP+ cages that shipped before Cisco introduced the updated SKU. Platform support on any given chassis depends on line-card revision and software train, so the authoritative check is the Cisco Transceiver Module Group (TMG) Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com for the specific host part number. EdgeOptic's Cisco-coded EEPROM matches the SFP-10G-T identity expected by those earlier platforms.
