Cisco SFP-10G-T Compatible 10GBASE-T Copper SFP+ Transceiver (Legacy Ordering Code)

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 programs the EEPROM to the SFP-10G-T identity, making it a drop-in replacement on Cisco platforms that qualified the original part.

The module supports 100 Mbps, 1G, and 10G data rates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T and IEEE 802.3ab for 1000BASE-T. NBASE-T multi-rate (2.5G and 5G) is not part of Cisco's SFP-10G-T or SFP-10G-T-X specification per the Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ Modules Data Sheet (c78-455693) and the Cisco SFP+ 10GBASE-T FAQ (q-and-a-c67-743938); for 2.5G and 5G NBASE-T support on the same Cisco platforms, the separate SFP-10G-MRA-T multi-rate adapter is the dedicated part. Reach is up to 30 m on Cat 6a or Cat 7. The electrical interface follows the SFF-8431 SFP+ MSA, with management per SFF-8432. Operating temperature is 0 to 65 °C, with CE and RoHS certification.

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' 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; verify host platform support against the Cisco TMG Compatibility Matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com for the specific switch part number.

DDM telemetry is reported through the standard MSA registers for case temperature, supply voltage, and link status. 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. SFP-10G-T 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.
